TORA to IRL

[Roni]

Tora told Japanese media last week that he will move to the IRL for 03 along with Toyota. Absent from the revelation was any mention of Walker Racing.

Does anybody know who the supplys the paint for the walls?

With Tora, Michael and Brack heading running all ovals, I'd like to buy some stock in that company.

heh heh heh. that is funny.

Now the IRL fans can never say CART didn't give them anything!

But, but he's a foreign road racer he has to be good.

Sorry folks, couldn't resist.

Do you guys expect Tora to bail on Toyota's money and try to come up with funds himself? I think Tora just wants to be racing(CART or IRL) and not left sitting on the sidelines for 2003. If he comes to the IRL, then I will wish him the best.

[Mackie]

He is a rolling toll both, he comes with the engine, this year he has done fairly well.

Let's see-Johnny Herbert may be going to CART, Takagi to the IRL. Oh yeah, seems like a fair trade to me.

BTW, anyone notice that Miller said that they'd sell at least 10,000 more tickets for the CART race in England if Herbert was in it? I guess that makes the English people xenophobes for wanting to root for one of their own countrymen. Shame, Shame on them!

PS, I think I'll invest in one of the chassis companies-part sales are gonna go up with this annoucement.

Maybe they just want to see a guy that practiced at Indy.

Great post! Of course, the brits are no xenophobes and niether are americans who cheer their own guys.

Let me be as understated as I can....yippee? :mad:

[sifaka]

I hear Shinji will be coming with Honda. sorry to see him leave CART he was finally getting his old fire back after his oval crash. I am sure that he is excited about running an all ovals series.

Maybe Shiggy can get resurected. The three of them would ad some excitement to the IRL.

Tora can be scary fast at times, other times he can be just plain scary. Either way he's no slug.
