Tracy

Do you think there is any truth to the Forsythe to ALMS rumors?

If so, do you think that is why Forsythe is holding onto Tracy's contract?

well there is a little truth as in... one of forsythes engineers was at sebring on a "fact finding mission" and got a mention on speeds coverage

Although my personal opinion is that is more a ploy to try and get Tony to pay Forsythe more money to enter PT into the IRL season.

Maybe a reason GF is holding on to PT's contract is to make sure that PT is at LB. Its the only selling point LB would have. If he were to go to an IRL team he would be in Japan most likely. Then who does GF have to market for LB.

I still think it's a a-hole move because it doesn't give PT a chance to earn points.

"I'm just confused at your post"

Try reading it.

"Alex Barron, Richie Hearn, and Memo Gidley, fellows who did a lot with a little never got the opportunity Paul has enjoyed."

Yeah, poor Gidley. Driving for that crap a** Ganassi team is something I wouldn't wish on anyone. You know why none of the guys you listed ever "got the opportunity Paul has enjoyed?" Because none of them was even remotely close to him on the track.

"No, I don't give a toss if PT gets a ride or not."

This is a prime example of why the IRL has no fan base after 12 years.

"He is washed up."

Coming from somebody who apparently watches a series with Danica Patrick, Dan Wheldon, Tony Kannan, Ed Carpenter and Ryan Briscoe in it...well what can I say?

Indycar needs this guy if they expect to get any of the Champ Car fans to watch.

I won't be. Thank god for F-1.

Some big threat. CC fans were never (supposedly) going to watch anyway. They swore they'd never watch a series owned by TG & swore they'd never watch the ****wagons.

OK. Don't watch.

BTW. I'd love to see Paul in the league. He does have a lot of personality and is still quite the driver. At this point it's pretty much up to GF as to if that's going to happen though.

And running a race in Canada with no Canadian drivers? No PT, no Tagliani, no Patrick Carpentier? Good luck selling that one.

I don't know. Either way, what Forsythe is going is really crummy. PT doesn't want to be in ALMS. Forsythe can do the Captain Ahab routine all he wants with his own team, but holding someone else hostage is inexcusable. Anyone with the slightest bit of honor would release Paul to go do what he wanted if they were going in a different direction.

Curt Cavin show on http://www.1070thefan.com/listen/ is rumoring that Tracy may have a ride and may be on the show. It's on now. Help these guys get their ratings up.

Can't get on from work. Let us know what is said. Maybe somebody else is interested in the proposal Tracy sent to GF.
