Just got an email from one of the more solid scources I know.

There is a test scheduled in the next five days that puts together one of the most unlikely combinations imaginable. If I didn't know better I would suggest the test should be a urine analises for the person who sent me this update.

all I can say is stay tuned, I should have a face to face meeting this weekend.

PT to RCR?

Oh come on. That's been discussed for 2 yrs. now. That would surprise absolutely no one.

PT to Penske? Well, that would be something.

Given where this is at, I have to assume it has something to do with the IRL. Let the wilda$$ speculation begin. :gomer:

Sarah Fisher in a ChampCar! The test will be called off when they discover she can't fit in the cockpit.

Rick Mears coming out of retirement to drive for Prost's new ChampCar team?

Maybe FTG will himself test a safer barrier at 220mph at a 90 degree angle with no HANS device?

Come on racefans, in this day and age would it really be that weird for most anyone to have a test in one of those sleads?

IF there is a shread of truth to this it is a pure head shaker. I hope to unearth a few more facts Saturday.

Tony George wants to have another "Marquee Event" and thinks the SAFER barriers will allow him to do it. Because he has experience, none of the regulars are willing to test, and his cousin promised him a ride "at Indy" - John Andretti will be testing a Top Fuel Dragster on the frontstretch at Indy in preparation for the U.S. Nationals to move from IRP to IMS.

You can't do the above without the occasional "we're sworn to secrecy, but something huge will be announced in Toronto. Trust us - this is huge." You then update it with, "the details are being worked out, and it should be announced by Road America." If I had $1 for every "big announcement" that was supposed to happen in Mexico City, I'd be rich.

Could be true in this sport, but if so, I think it would be something different than what Bird was talking about, as he said, "No Indycar connection."

Paul Tracy lines up a Brickyard ride, or Michael Andretti goes out of retirement for a Brickyard ride. Remember, Railbird on knows what happening at IMS, so it has to be about something at the Brickyard 400. I got it!, Sarah Fisher lands a ride at the Brickyard 400.

Could we see a non-NA$CaB doodle in a car testing? That would be my guess.

And BTW Dave - loose some weight you IRL shill. Those guys are unapologotically KoolAid drinkers. He must get his own trailer full of Jugg's biscuits and Apple Butter for his propoganda work.
