Incompetence: Anderson out the back door as USF1 closes the front.
USF1 closed the doors without paying its employees at noon today. Ken Anderson slunk out the back door without a word to those headed for North Carolina’s unemployment office…but that could be problematical. (more…)

Braselburg Happenings
No sooner than the cats left town than the mice were out. Actually not out, but “in” a meeting. With the RRIC underway in Phoenix on this past Tuesday – that’s where the Bear was – Murphy’s mole (the Moroccan Mole, some call him) reported a ‘big, big meeting’ at 1394 Broadway in Braselburg.

The Diesel Plot Thickens
The release in the past day of the ACO’s 2010 regs sheds some light – well a little bit, anyway – on what’s likely for Audi and Peugeot in the next season. Most recently, the Bear has heard that Peugeot will contest Sebring, and Audi will be in Florida, too…but just to test. Audi will announce its plans in regard to PLM at an event in Europe this evening.
