"""
  The closeness of the finish should not be construed to mean that Rick's
Legacy is anywhere near as fast as Darryl's Legacy. I have it on very good
information that  Darryl was only going as fast as necessary to stay ahead of
Rick. Darrl didn't want to push the "borrowed" engine parts any harder than
was necessary.
"""

I got to know Darryl during one of the Lancair Labor Day fly-ins, the one that happened the year before he first raced.  I helped him with getting the log data out of his JPI engine instrument (if memory serves).   Anyway, during our conversation I asked him how much MP he intended to pull out of that engine, thinking he had some MAP redline in mind.  His 3-word answer bespeaks his attitude about racing... he said "...enough to win".  I suspect your "very good information" is probably accurate.
