Them 'ole boys are up against Gloomyday's neck of the woods.

I must say they seem like a disfunctional family even for West Coast Bikers.
They could turn that into a reality series

As a US F1 fan, I have to tell those of you not from here that whatever YOU make this, funny, long overdue, etc., it is a crappy thing for it to happen of all people to a US team. We, too, want to play with the 'bigboys'.

They can not even enforce their decision, and this only shows the lack of power the FIA has in reality over anyone.

Frankly I dont see the need to have ever called this hearing in the first place. USF1 tried to put a team together, where badly run and so failed badly, with the result of the team now ceasing to exist in any form. Their failure has not hurt F1 and has only gone on to show, along with the struggles of the other new teams, just how difficult F1 is.

If they had pulled out and decided to go racing somewhere else at the last minute, it would be a different matter altogether though.

Fining a defunct team brings to mind the phrase, "getting blood from a turnip."

As ridiculous as these knuckleheads act for this reality show, they are world class designers of "choppers" and have been for decades. I'm pretty sure you know that, just wanted to make sure you didn't mistakenly lumped them in with another segment of American Society! That would be the ones that are afraid of men (and women) on motorcycles or just plain low tech wrench's
