Did Matt Trulio rain on your parade by announcing you are the first race team to run Mercury's new 1650 motors?

Seems to me Trulio could have waited 10 minutes or so for the Geico team to make thier announcement. It's not like he didn't know they were about to do it. Geico clearly could have leaked the information quite some time ago, but was being respectful to Mercury's intro.

We were all in agreement that Matt did it. He was part of the plan all along

So I guess the other engine deal fell though? (sterling was it?)

Mercury backing the deal should Help neutralize, the sheikhs $$$

Is this more of a sponsorship or just lucky to get the first official set?

Gasse was running development units at words correct?

So how many Teams have committed to unlimited power for this "Ryder Cup"? Will this be a true annual international event?
