Some things you either know, or don't.

It would not be appropriate to post who it is, but if you name (not guess) the right driver (and CART official) I come here and say you were spot on. If you just want to know, ping me, but don't post it.

So what is this, the freakin' National Enquirer? This has become down right sleazy. What right do you have even posting this sort of TRASH, let alone offering to whisper who it is to the right ear that bows and kisses your ring?

I for one think you have REALLY stepped over the line here. First it starts off with all you chest thumping, I know the inside scoop and the rest of you are a bunch of peons, attitude. Then it gets into the private lives of one of our members with your cute little comments about someone's boyfriend. Now its reduced to this sort of BS. Maybe you do have the inside track. But frankly Scarlett...

First of all, I said that was entirely speculation and a rumor I heard on another board when I posted it. I never claimed to have any sort of inside information about where Seabass would end up.

That's the difference between you and I, I usually state the source of what I'm hearing. Also if you read my posts you'll notice I was the first one to hint that Doornbos was out at NHL before the end of the year.

I said I believe DP will be back with Boost at AGR, but I've never said a contract is done and dusted.

Also, if the deal's not done why are you making statements that make it seem like you know what the driver/team combo is when you're just hearing the same rumor that I am? Hinch has some backers, he's talking to a couple of teams, 3G included, about buying a ride next year. I know at least one of the other teams, but I don't want to say it for fear of violating a trust, and since you haven't named it yet I don't want to add to your knowledge.

Difference is you heard a rumor that might be true and you wrote it like it was a secret you knew and no one else did. If you were more descriptive like "I've heard that a Canadian is talking with several times about a full time ride in 2010, but I don't know," or "can't say any more," then there wouldn't be issues.

They have NOT talked to 3G at all.

The difference is you guess, while I actually talk to people.

You will note that (starting to repeat myself) that I totally missed on the Doorbos thing, and I was actually there and talked to him that weekend. I had no clue or indication that was going to happen, that way at least. Your guess there was correct.

As for the "edited" material above, and Starter can back me up on this, there were no insults or negative comments directed at you. I asked about an incident that happend some time ago at the CART awards dinner. It was a bit too "R" rated for this forum.

just letting you know...

EE, I have a question for you in good faith. It doesn't pertain to Danica or Danica sucking so it really doesn't belong here but, with regard to silly season, what are the rumors about PT you have floating around? I haven't talked to anybody or pretend to know some secret but I have a funny feeling something is up. My intuition tells me he is close to getting sponsors lined up for a full season to go along with Geico on ABC races...but with nothing being signed or official there is an effort to keep it under wraps. Just curious if you're hearing anything in his camp.

I'm not guessing, I know he talked with 3G, and unless your source is Hinch, which seems unlikely because he's a pretty tactful guy, and you specifically asked about 3G and they told you the truth you don't know for sure. And givin how you've represented things as fact before I'm pretty sure you don't know for absolute truth.

As someone who has leaked things to the press on a couple of occasions let me tell you how these things work. No one tells you complete and total truth. Truth is Hinch has talked with 3G, even if it isn't his first, second, or third choice. How many high school football players spread rumors that scouts from D1 Schools are looking at them only to end up at mid-teir D2 schools.

No one gives reporters insider info for fun, but because they hope to gain something about it, you're probably being gamed my friend.

But neither AJ nor Mario are the "future winner of the Indy 500" :)
