I received a note the other day that was kind of a downer. It was an auction notice for the assets of Champcar. I wish I had the spare coin around to buy stuff to hang onto, but then again it's not good to live in the past. I was taken by the pace cars that were still around, stored in some warehouse. I hope that some museum or someone who'll take care of them bought 'em.I did watch some of the race at Texas Motor Speedway last weekend. It's difficult for me to watch too much oval racing. I do like the strategy that goes with it, but watching them buzz around isn't as exciting as a road or street race. PT had some strong opinions on the Indycar package and having watched some I tend to agree. The cars look a decade old and they don't sound exciting. I've never been a big NASCAR fan, but they're moving forward with the car of tomorrow and it's enticing to me. The Panoz DP01's like Katherine Heigl, the Dallara's . . . not.
Oh, and the Champcar website is still up? Who's paying for that?
