Listen to the voices in your head: it's time to get out... And before I start being negative, let me say the Calkins family are some of the nicest people in racing.
I've been reading this site for a while now, but had to sign up for a name yesterday to comment on some things, including someone's comments on Buzz. Someone suggested he use his MBA and become a top young owner in the IRL, great idea.
I spot for a top IRL team, and totally admire the job his spotters have done (for example Richmond and St. Louis). I have seen Buzz struggle really since his crash in Loudon in 97 while testing. Sometimes a driver, following a big crash, lose a little nerve. Everyone would understand, even someone as tough as Foyt has admitted being a little fearful inside a car.
I've talked to former members of his team, and they agree: Buzz has lost it. His eyes look like he's seen a ghost before he gets in and his hands shake. He now has his old engineer back from 1996, Ken Anderson, but the results at Fontana and Phoenix looked even worse.
There's a long list of ready and unemployed drivers out there. I'd love to see what that team and car (now with Ilmor power) is capable of.
I'm sorry if this ticks some people off, but the truth sometimes hurts.
