But any win in a Formula Extreme Daytona 200 should not count.  When they 
were 750cc two strokes and later Superbikes it was a real win, but now it 
only means fastest factory Honda guy.  Wins in this race as now configured 
diminish the accomplishments of Dale Singleton, Scott Russell, and Mat 
Mladin.
