    PT was on Wind Tunnel last night (or as PT calls it "Windbag Tunnel"). Commented on his current IndyCar situation, Danica, and the Delta Wing:

    You want to know why he can't get a full time ride? Because of stupid twitter posts etc. If you can't get along with people you will have a pretty tough time.
    Interesting take on the events at Toronto last year considering 95% of everybody in North and South America saw it exactly oposite.

    At any rate, I hardly doubt the PT on Twitter is the reason he hasn't gotten a full-time gig...if anything it is his personality that Indycar desparately misses. If Twitter is the new reason he can't get a ride then what would be Graham Rahal's?

    You don't have to be a fan of his, no problem there. His personality and racing aggression is polarizing..so you love him or you hate him. I assure you this though, the series would be far better served with him in there and you'd enjoy hating him that much more. But for goodness sakes, don't get started saying stupid crap like Twitter is why he can't get a ride.
    It isn't the car Danica...it is the space between the steering wheel and the seat.

    Because he doesn't have the big checko to pay for one?

    Geico only cares about the Indy 500 (because its the only Indy Car race that anyone watches).

    PT's concern about the Delta Wing, other than the goofy styling was the front wheels being tucked in is about reference points for the drivers in tight corners. You cant know about your rear wheels clearing the hairpin at Long Beach when your front wheels are that much narrower. Like I said on the other D-Wing thread, I figure the wheels will be moved out at some point...

    It's a shame Viso has a ride full time and PT doesn't...not that I hate Viso, but PT is the most colourful driver out there who isn't running full time.

    AS for Josh's statement, well if he doesn't like PT, that's fine, but last time I looked, most of the guys with rides outside of the to 4 to 6 drivers have zero personality and about 1/10th the track record. That isn't opinion, that is just the reality...

    The party in power is socialist- not communist. There is a communist party in Venezuela, but declined to join the ruling party's coalition. There is a difference.

    So for this particular ride buyer, it is socialist oil money.

    FYI

Don't blame the team owners for taking money to keep the doors open....
    The irony of course, is that ride buying is as capitalist as you can get...
