The Fast Abruzzi
The last program Murphy ever thought would move too fast to keep up with was The Don’s Abruzzi. Saturday started with Murphy’s Hoschton source saying the Abruzzi will indeed make the trip to Florida next month, where it will spend the Saturday after St. Patty’s day in a tent due to (excuse here) “problems with suppliers.” It ended when the real story – or a part of it – was told in a Gary Watkins AutoWeak article.

Scorched Earth
What do the Montreal Canadiens, Liverpool Football Club, and Richard Petty Motorsports have in common? George Gillett, a scourge to all of them, or so most fans believe, and who was recently forced out of Liverpool by John Henry, also owner of the Red Sox and Fenway/Roush Racing. RPM owes $3 million Roush-Yates, and since Gillett has way more red numbers than black in his ledger, King Richard is scrambling to stay in the game. It’s tough on the King, with wife Lynda fighting a brain tumor diagnosed in February. The King will likely get through it, perhaps even field a Dodge team in the Continental Tire series and one Cup car. George’s empire might be out of options. (more…)

A car that won’t race is just part of Jaguar’s problems. When your best finish (by far) in an ALMS race is last place, 36 laps behind the Porsche class winner, it can’t get much worse, can it? Sure it can. It did at Le Mans. (more…)

Sebring – Screwing on your Wheels
Falken sent three wheels bounding down the track. One took out the Flying Lizard’s defending champions. Does that trifecta wipe out a previous Robertson Racing record of two stray wheels in a single race?
Sebring – Competence (continued)
All excuses (and resigned shrugs) aside. The fact that the GT2 race was ended nearly five hours before the checkered flag by IMSA rules (or the sloppy implementation of same) is stupid. Murphy thinks the ALMS is in the entertainment business, not just for the ticket-buying public, but for the sponsors of Flying Lizards Motorsports and Rahal Letterman Racing, and the rest, struggling for sponsors, all of them. The Braselburg puzzle palace better figure out how to keep those competitors in the show until they lose (or win) the race through their own efforts. (more…)

It’s time – after much procrastination and with a healthy dose of prevarication – for the Bear to make his first prognostication of the likely Sebring grid. (more…)
