Tonight on AudioSport Radio, Ward told how his friend Clark asked Ward to set up a test at IMS to try out his rear-engined F1 car. Ward then asked Mr. Hulman (get this an 82 yr old Ward still referring to the long deceased Hulman as Mr. - shows just a wee bit of respect don't ya think). Ward then set up the whole test. During the test he took several laps and knew then the Roadster was a dying breed.
Rodger also told how he raced against Clark in an F1 race at Sebrin in a mono-gear "MIDGET". Although, qualifying well was forced to start at the rear of the field. Something to do with the nonsense of a push truck getting in the way of the other cars.
Fred___________ from Bowes Seal Fast IPS team was there and mentioned how they were stepping up to develop a Players like farm system, and they were looking at the Silver Crown ranks fro their drivers. The goal is to bring a driver into IPS and develop them fro the Bowes IRL team. This could happen by next year. Also they are keeping close contact with the man of Steele.
Felipe led off the show as I mentioned in a most likely now deleted thread
.
He and Al are scheduled to go three rounds on SPEED's version of celebrity boxing (Fox affiliate - it could happen). He watched the tape with Barnhart. There was a slight unintentional move that probably caught Unser off guard as much as anyting.
Mentioned he thought Nunn would be a two-car team in the IRL next year. Kanaan was NOT mentioned as the driver.
He discussed CART's woes on the ovals as he and Tony have compared notes. Felipe is a very pro IRL guy. He keeps referring to himself as an American, which I guess technically correct - South American. Felipe will be a Snowbird as he will now winter in Orlando since Indiana is just too cold.
He mentioned the Honda and Toyota targeted the IRL due to the fact that they want to sell cars in the states and that they have F1 to sell overseas. That was a/the reason for leaving CART as CART moved to a more international flavor. It made a lot of since,I just never made that connection.
His comments regarding the last 30 laps at Kentucky, were the yellow monster was always around him. Felipe was trying to help Buddy with the draft. If Buddy was in the draft Sam was out of the way. I missed the reason he was trying to help Buddy. Not sure if it was a team thing, a friendship thing, or if Buddy was going to be slower at the end of the race. Somebody can help-me on that one.
Felipe fits my IRL driver category
I WANT DRIVERS IN THE IRL THE WANT TO BE IN THE IRL. I shouted louded, but did not yell!
