This was another kid I got to see racing in F-BMW USA. He's quick. Damn quick. Yet another top-notch kid from a development formula series headed for Atlantics. I've said this many times before, but I shall yet mention it again: Atlantics are going to be very interesting next year with the depth of the talent there. * w w w .champcaratlantic . com /News/Article.asp?ID=2704 Indianapolis,...

After more than 158 laps, the Chump Car "standout" "improves" from his DEAD LAST 17th place finish to the DEAD LAST timed position of 19th place, and worsens his time with respect to leader de la Rosa. No doubt the Chumps (like roaches) will come out of the woodwork to trumpet (read: offer even more excuses for) this incredible "achievement" as well. Jerez...

Bourdais is adamant that he will stay in Champ Car next season, but...

As with other series he's tried (e.g., the IRL's Indy 500, IROC ...) Chump Car's premier 3 time "championship" winning "star" Sebastien Bourdais proves once again that he can't even be competitive, this time during his sympathy "test" with an F-1 team. Hell, he was even beaten by Liuzzi. Odd that no one in the Chump newsgroup dared to mention his abject...

Standing Starts - mixed feelings on this one. I like the rolling starts, and it makes Champ Car stand apart from F1. OTOH standing starts could be quite interesting. I'm similarly mixed in how I feel about having some rolling starts and some standing starts. Part of me says, "Shit or get off the pot." The other part sees this as somewhat prudent, as standing...

Feeding the trolls? Yep - its the off-season and there's nothing else to do here... A couple EARLs have asserted that CCWS is going to fold after the 2007 season. Well, time to put your money where your mouth is. I'm betting that CCWS survives. If you have balls, make your bet that it won't. If CCWS folds before it can start it's 2008 season, you win...

Why in the world is a racing series that is anti-American, anti-American driver, anti-oval, anti-wheel to wheel racing, anti-American road racing tracks, why is this series headquarters based in the heartland of America? Maybe because they don't even have the money to move their headquarters? ChampCar, get out of Indy. Go to your masters...
