New UPS/NASCAR commercial
Just watched a new UPS/NASCAR commercial where Dale Jarret is lamenting
the speed of UPS trucks being just 75 mph. He is being driven around the UPS airplanes on the airport ramp. His driver is telling him about UPS. Next shot shows a UPS truck with a pair of turbofans attached to the sides going down the runway. The UPS guy tells Dale they had a couple spare engines lying around. |

THAT was a funny commercial.
They said they were gonna race the truck! I bet they do a demonstration with a real ups truck with some kind of turbo fans on it. Kind of like those jet cars. Seems like they would have to modify the truck quite a bit so the engines don't take off. "john smith" wrote in message . ..

In the commercial, for those that missed it, they were mounted on the edges of the roof. I wonder how long before they do a commerical with a SST (SuperSonicTruck).

What would a NASCAR driver weinie know about going fast? Good grief,
those cars still aren't as fast as the Indy racers were 40 years ago. |

Yeah, Nascar limits their speed, with restrictor plates, much greater weight, higher center of gravity, more drag, less downforce, narrower tires, burning gas instead of alcohol with conventional carburation instead of using boost.
