...steady drizzle washed the high-banked oval track at Daytona Beach as the cars lined up for the 250-mile American Challenge Cup. It looked like a big day for Chevrolet's famed Corvette, flashiest and most powerful U.S. sportscar. No fewer than seven Corvettes were in the 14-car field, six of them new 1963 Sting Rays, their powerful V-8 engines blatting angrily under shark-nosed hoods. In the cockpits sat some of racing's top drivers, among them Indianapolis Veteran A. J. Foyt. Down went the flag. Off screamed the Corvettes. And zoom-a ringer...

...found such popular appeal that shrewd owners take elaborate pains to maintain and exploit their secrecy. The Angostura formula is brewed twice weekly in 10,000 gallon hatches in a labyrinthine "secret room." Employees at Pimm's Ltd., the makers of a secret gin sling (Pimm's Cup) whipped up in the 1850s by a London chophouse bartender, are forced to take a company loyalty oath. Only four Carthuisan monks know the formula for Chartreuse, and travel between monasteries to make it. The ingredients for Coke's basic 7-X formula are ordered from separate suppliers...
