well maybe not history, but I thought this type of auction was just too funny given Greg's history.
Not to take anything away from a pretty darn good season in 2003. I just thought many around here would get a kick out of this auction.

It actually shows that many teams still need to raise cash to survive in today's league. More power to Ray. If that's what it takes to help see him back in 2004 then so be it.
Greg, to his and his team's credit, did a fantastic job in 2004. These parts on ebay are from my best recollection his only major incident of the season.Have attended: Indy 500 (36), Belle Island (3), Kentucky (4), St Pete (3), Homestead (1), Texas (2) Michigan (5), Cleveland (3), Iowa (6), Chicagoland (5), IRP (2), Eldora (3)... -
And the accident was from mechanical failure, not driver error.Originally posted by damilt

Folks like to slam Greg and his all or nothing style, but it didn't take him 13 years to win his first major championship, did it?

Actually, the rear wing interests me some, BUT they only accept payment by Pay-Pal. I don't and won't use Pay-Pal, so I guess I won't be bidding.One driver's "fuel strategy" is another driver's "speed up or we will park you!"Comment

I was just reffering in general to all of the comments that have been made on here about Greg.
He's one of my favorite drivers........I wish I could afford some of the stuff for sale on ebay.Comment

Oh good gods, why would I want to pay $200 for that, when I could probably scrounge up a piece just like it and drag it to the track and get him to autograph it for free?
A once-in-a-lifetime photograph, or a piece from a very special car, or if it was something for a charity event, that I could see buying, but a rear wing flap from an ordinary crash? No offense, but so what?Open-mindedness is a way of life.Comment

yeh, a rear wing flap is pretty lame...
I got a piece of a wrecked car though that is pretty cool- it was the first or second CART race at Fontana and Lyendyke was subbing for Zanardi in the Target car after Alex wrecked in practice- Arie plowed into some German driver who spun right in front of him at speed and knocked himself out and completely destroyed the Target car- I was a photographer in the turn and got the shots and was looking at the debris the corner workers brought in and one of them told me I could take a piece if I wanted- I couldn't beleive it- they usually guard that stuff like a hawk and take it back to the crew- I got a great hunk that has the "TA" from Target on the sidepod complete with tire marks and oil- it's pretty cool and it was free..."Charging a man with murder here was like handing out speeding tickets at the Indy 500."- Capt.

Yeah, I'm not impressed with PayPal, either. I 'won' an auction for a spare battery for my laptop and paid by PP. A couple of weeks go by, no battery so I email the guy. Seems his secretary forgot to mail it out and he decided to just cancel the whole deal and refund to PP. Well, in fact he probably decided not to sell a $150 battery for $20 but whatever. Anyway, I contact PP and ask them to refund my credit card. No can do. My money sits in their account until I either spend it on something else or ask for them to mail a check back to me and I have to jump through a bunch of hoops to do that. A gigantic PITA.Comment

Cool story. I remember that Arie crash vividly.
