Huayra Pronello Ford On The Track In 1969 in HD

This is raw footage; not for the feint of heart!



If Pagani names its next supercar "Huayra," it'll have more than just something to do with wind. In the 1960s, Ford of Argentina and motorsports designer Heriberto Pronello teamed up on a racing prototype for the "Can-Am of the South."

Pronello, an accomplished motorsport designer and longtime friend of Horacio Pagani, started working on the car that would become the Huayra Pronello Ford race car in 1966. By 1969, he'd turned out a strange monster whose prospects looked promising. Powered by a five-liter Ford V8 producing 430 hp, the Huayra was the fastest car in both qualifying and race in nearly all of Argentina's Turismo Carretera races in 1969. Driver Carlos "Picho" Pasqualini set a track record at The Autódromo Ciudad de Rafaela with a top speed of 216 mph.

Victor Davis Hanson Reassures Us With The Big Picture

Victor Davis Hanson has given us an erudite analysis that trumps the regular blather than clutters our poor overworked minds. The unfortunate fact that history repeats itself has driven me to dust off a few formerly overlooked books. Media availability has reached fire hose proportions lately and sometimes I feel a little waterlogged. Hence, I seek out gems of wisdom to attempt to filter through the clutter. Mr Hanson hangs his hat at the Hoover Institute at Stanford University. He's the Martin and Illie Anderson Senior Fellow in Residence in Classics and Military History at the Hoover Institute. I won't bore you with an analysis, but rather link to his concise summary here.
He was interviewed this morning on the Dennis Miller Radio Show out here on the left coast of our fair continent: Sharp mind. Hope you enjoy it!
