In an effort to better inform our racing minded subscribers, We have
sent Tippy Gomez to the Birch Bayh Federal Building and United States
Court House in an effort to keep our readers up to speed on the
bankruptcy hearings between in state powerhouse Indy Racing League and
upstart Open Wheel Racing Series. Both are bidding on the hard and soft
assets of the former Championship Auto Racing Teams, which declared
Bankruptcy earlier this year.

In attendance is a virtual who's who of American Open Wheel Racing. Tony
George, President of the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, along with Fred
Nation, Ken Unger, Bob Jenkings, Bob Cole to name a few. Also spotted
where Paul Gentilozzi, Kevin Kalkhoven, two of the principals behind
OWRS (along with Gerald Forsythe) Chris Pook, David Clare, John Lopes,
Emerson Fittialdi, Dale Coyne, Joe Heitzler, Adrian Fernandez. The
Courtroom was packed with support coming from both competing series.
Internet icons such as, Racewriter, Denfender,
Wilkie, Railbird, Spicoli, mapguy, racer2c, Tony Gaylord, Elmer George (looking quite deceased) Ripper where spotted in and among the throngs.

Tippy Gomez was granted several interviews while court was in recess. We
share some comments with you, our loyal readers

TG - Paul, Paul Gentilozzi, as late as last week you are on record as
Saying Tony George and Yourself were "friends"? Do you still feel that way?
PG - Well, define friend? If you mean some rich kid who is hard to deal
with, than yes, were very close.
TG - Did you envision a merger?
PG - Well, we would have liked to gotten together. I thought in the open
wheel landscape, this would have been advantageous for everyone. I guess
I underestimated Tony's desire to "fix" the sport.
(speaking with Kevin Kalkhoven)
TG - Kevin, what is your take on Tony George?
KK - Who is Tony George?
TG - Ooh, He's the guy who runs the IRL
KK - Oh, that dweeb. Yeah, I talked to him one time. He was going on and
on about his King Air 200. I told him I used a King Air to start my
Gulfstream! He seemed pleasant enough, a little confused. Is there
something wrong with him? I think I saw six fingers on each hand? He's
obviously quite preoccupied. I noticed the zipper on the back of his
trousers. That must be where Roger sticks his arm to work his lips.
TG - uh, Thanks Mr. Kelkhoven.
(talking with Fred Nation)
TG - Fred, a moment of your time
FN - Make it quick Tippy, I cant leave Tony alone very long. He may
something stupid (laughs)
TG - How do you feel the proceedings are progressing?
FN - I think that the Hulman Family should be granted all of CART's
assets. They invented Open Wheel Racing, and by golly, its up to them to
kill it off once and for all. Fans have no idea of how great our product
can be. We have really busted our tails the past eight years to alienate
each and every sect of fan there is. We just cant quite get the formula
right. Of course, it does not help when psychopathic writers such as
Robin Miller critique each and every move. The sooner the American
Public lets us have our way, the better. We think we have done an
excellent job of dumbing down the populace. Any gomer can now follow an
open wheel race.
TG - Thanks Fred, your a Peach. Hey, there is Emerson Fittipaldi. Emmo,
Emmo, got a second?
EF - Hey Tippy! How's goes it? I been meaning to call you. I have a
wonderful......
TG - (interrupting) Emmo, what's your take on the proceedings?
EF - Dey still pisse I didnt dreak the freakin' milk? Who are these
dungholes? You seen my steering wheel?
TG - Do you support OWRS?
EF - Tippy, is the Pope Catholic? Road Racing is, how do you say, da
****! Ovals are fine, as long as there are only a few of them. What time
does Brads open?
TG - That would be three PM Emmo
EF - Thanks! gotta go, Some guy named Ripper wants me to sign a shirt.
TG - Here are some ardent fans, lets fire some questions off to get "the
man on the street" opinion.
TG - Your name?
I am Wilkie, Im from Alaska.
TG - You came all the way from Alaska for this?
W - Yes, its my loyal duty to inform the throngs of brain dead Lemmings
on all matters regarding CART. See, CART dingo's ate my baby! I have
tried and tried to get somebody to listen, but all I get is slapped
around by those meanies at Crapwagon.
TG - And you sir, what is your name?
They call me Defender. I am loyal to the Indianapolis Motor Speedway
come hell or high water. I take it personal.
TG - Well, Defender, why are you here today
D - Im here representing the Orange Julius Foundation. My main
activities are keeping all the malcontents off the Internet. My primary
focus is on the importance of all things related to the IRL.
TG - Wow, that's a big job
D - Yes, it takes at least 10 minutes a day
TG - Do you do this full time? or is this just part time
D - Well, I work for the cable company. Climbing ladders and stripping
Coax. I have however, mailed several resumes to Mr. Nation. I also email
the TV Networks on an hourly basis.
TG - And you Sir, you are?
Im Turn13
TG - And what is your connection?
T13 - I run the most important Internet Web site on the planet. TrackForum.
TG - And what exactly goes on at "TrackForum"
T13 - We are an open minded group of racefans who enjoy meeting only
those just like ourselves. I have followed this sport with unbridled
passion for almost 7 years now. I feel it my place to support the Hulman
family and help spread the rhetoric. Heil Hulman! Road Racing is just a
Trojan horse to allow third world ingrates into our hallowed history
books. The sooner these beaners are run out of Dodge, the better
TG - Ok, thanks Redneck
TG - You Sir, what is your name?
I'm known as Railbird
TG - Nice to meet you Railbird. Do you have any comments about the
comings and going of today's court proceedings?
RB - Yeah, Drop the Flag!
TG - And you Sir
I'm mapguy
TG - What do you have to say Mr. Mapguy?
TG - FTG, Go Leafs!
TG - And you Sir? Your name and take please?
I'm Spicoli. Tony is a silver spooned coke head without a clue. He has
done more damage to American Open Wheel Racing in eight years than
any other person in the history of the sport. He is scum, I hope he goes
broke, and winds up washing jock straps for his buddy Jimmy Irsay.

TG - There you have it folks, a few short interviews from Indianapolis.

A good account of the events that happened there Tippy. It was quite a scene outside the courthouse. They wouldn't let me in until I put on a pair of pants. Then Defender pulled up with his little concession trailer and tried to unload Sarah Fisher bobble head dolls. The court security ran him out there so fast he lost his cable installation book.

I guess JT is a Senator's fan? :p

WELCOME TO SIX MONTHS AGO


Funny.


Wilke is over on Whackforum allegding all kinds of inapropriate conduct by anyone and everyone connected to CART. He's saying GF, FatCarl, Walker and a bunch of others were paid some sort of "Hush money" and that the 3 amigos told Rahole and DumbAdrianFernandeth that they would get some, then got shut out of this mythical slush fund - gasp for air - and that CART is still alive and they have broken all kinds of SEC regs and that "Dependser" and some other nut-jobs are personally! reporting them to the SEC and that CCWs will only prolly run 10 races next year and that we should all be proud - gasp - and that we are all sinners and everyone is going to jail and THEN we'll burn in hell. :saywhat:


Anyway - just wanted to assure myself that I was - in fact - in that courtroom and saw TG get his chapped ass handed to him on a silver platter.

Reality's a bitch sometimes Jim. :rofl:
