The Straight Poop?
The Boss predicted 5-6 LMP1 entrants “week-to-week” after the “Le Mans break” (that’s 3-4 “new”) and a week later “2 or 3” additional entries, which means 4-5 total. In other words, he doesn’t know for sure. It’s not reasonable to expect him to, of course. Even the principals don’t know whether their “deals” will come through or fall through. (more…)

Thursday, June 10th, 2010It’s been eerily quiet in the world of sports car racing lately. Poor Murphy really has to dig to find any poop at all. There’s always something, though. The Bear keeps hoping for rumors of new programs, new venues, new anything – but he’s had to settle for a silly looking kit car (see below). (more…)
