Vote for Force!
June 21, 2003
Come on drag racing fans, submit your vote for John Force even if he is having a so-so year. Can’t stand the thought of an arrogant Tony Stewart or aloof M. Schumacher winning this ESPY award!
Kentucky hazards

IRL completed testing in Kentucky this week with many complaints about the track surfacing.
Boris “Iron Man” Said
June 21, 2003
Not only is Boris on pole, he is driving in all three events at Sonoma; Nascar, Featherlite and Transam. Not a bad way to spend the weekend!
With Boris on pole, Robbie Gordon second and Ron fellows third, I expect Robbie the impatient to wreck himself , himself and Boris, or take out all first three starters within the first five laps.
GPWC
June 21, 2003
Some insight as to why the GPWC will not make it as an independent and rival series to F1. BMW has no interest in managing a series, they just want to race. Every thing Bernie and Max Mosely say about the fickleness of car makers is probably true.

Hope for Vasser fans?

First qualifying at Portland. Maybe the break through for Jimmy? It sure would be nice to see Jimmy get a W.
Jackass: The Driver
June 20, 2003
Why o’ why can’t Eddie just leave well enough alone? Eddie Cheever needs to stay the hell out of the car and develop his racing team. But no, of course since the engine development deal with Menard blew up (probably because Menard realized what a egotistical jackass Eddie is), this ding dong thinks he should be driving again!

Best of both worlds for Herbert
June 20, 2003
Johnny Herbert is a pretty lucky guy as far as his recent rides go. Not only did he get to be a part of the 1-2 finishing Bentely boys at LeMans this year, now he gets to come back to the US and team up in the ADT Champion Racing Audi R8 with JJ Lehto. Incidentally, the ADT Champion Racing gang took 3rd overall at LeMans. Not a bad couple of rides for old Johnny.
CART on HDTV?
June 20, 2003
Since CART screwed around with Road America so long over sanctioning fees, buy the time the race was back on the schedule Speed Channel and CBS both had other programming scheduled on the race date. In a typically Pook move, the series is now negotiating with HDNet, an HDTV network owned by none other than Mark Cuban.
For those who are not Dallas Mavericks fans, or members/former members of the streaming media industry, here is more info on Mark Cuban. Here is the HDnet web site.
This would be the first High Definition Television auto race in history in the US. This could actually be good for CART. Imagine that! CART finally doing something good for itself!
