Misc Ramblings:
1.Ford isn't pulling out...Cosworth has almost finished development of a IRL/New Cart spec engine, and is shopping Ford to see which division will 'brand' the motor..Ford, Jaguar, etc..May carry different names in the different series--as in Ford in IRL and Mercury in CART, for example. A few of the details can be found in the current AutoWeek and Speed Sport News..
2. I am a RACE fan. I like F1 (enough so that I bought a dish capable of bringing in 'Bernie Vision' for Europe...It is a Pay Per View set up, Malaysia cost about $30, and it is one AWESOME set up. You have a Master Screen with 7 different views that YOU control...I liked riding on the nose of Michael Schumacher's car at Malaysia! You also control commentary--I used BBC for some of the race (pit stops, etc..) but usually ran NO commentator--just that sweet sound of 17000 pneumatically controlled rpm! I also love to see CART races. I love NASCAR races (season ticket holder a Texas Motor Speedway). I love SCCA races. I have grown to love IRL racing now that the motors dont blow up every 20 laps. I lust over ALMS--went to Sebring to see Audi steamroll.
3. Finally, if you open your vistas, you'll find any racing event cool if you give it a chance! I highly reccommend going LIVE! You will find that the more you learn about the sport, the more intriguing it becomes. Yes, even roundy-round NASCAR!
