I pay to see that. Danica's Mom is said to have a mean Scissor-Lock too.

he'd probably be jailed for "child abuse"...

Heck yeah! I was wondering if it would be hard to find this thread.

PT got a ride. Hopefully it'll be full time

Only if the courts looked at it from an emotional maturity standpoint.

It will be great to see Tracy back in the saddle. I dont watch enough these days except to see how Dixon does but I'll find it even more interesting if Tracy can get a fulltime ride.
from Yahoo sports:
The driver said he is hopeful that Subway, which has been a NASCAR sponsor, will see the benefit of working with him in IndyCar and sign on for more races this year and into 2009.
So far, the only race the Tracy-Walker combo is scheduled to run is Edmonton, one of only three races from the Champ Car schedule that moved to the IndyCar slate in 2008. In the three previous events on the temporary road circuit in western Canada, Tracy has finished third, fifth and, last year, fifth again.
“We think we can show them that they can get a lot of benefit out of this deal,” Tracy said. “I’m going to do everything I can to promote it and show them how successful it can be.

i always have a small place for PT because when he was at Penske, i was too young to realize what a head case he was, so when he replaced Mears, he was my guy. i loved him. i had several PT t-shirts.

he has million dollar talent, but a five cent head.

i hope this deal works out for him. he's a pretty recognizable name to have in the series.

Excerpts from a Q&A session w/ PT at Edmonton.

Vision Racing driver Paul Tracy met with members of the media in Edmonton. Select quotes are below:

“It’s good to be back. Obviously, everything came together kind of last minute. I’m excited about the opportunity with Derrick Walker, Vision Racing and Subway as the sponsor. We’re going to jump into the deep end here, but I think the team’s motivated, I’m motivated to do well, and if we can have a good result, we’ll see what develops for the future. That’s really the first step in getting back into the series full-time.”

(About pressure) “Not really. I’m not in a points battle. There’s really no pressure from where you finish in the championship. For me, it’s an opportunity to get going. We’re just going to take it step-by-step everyday. I haven’t driven since Long Beach, and the team hasn’t competed at this level since Long Beach, so from that standpoint we’ve just go to do the best we can. We all want to do well. Our expectations are to do well, but really haven’t set any type of goal for myself like we have to win the race or anything like that. We’re just going to go out there and do the best job we can. There’s always a possibility to win a race no matter what happens during a race. Anything can happen in motor racing, we’re going to give it the best we can, but I haven’t come here saying we’ve got to go and out run everybody, because I think that would just be setting yourself up for disappointment."

(About competition this weekend) “I’ve pretty much raced against everybody in the series at one point or another. Scott (Dixon) and Helio (Castroneves), I haven’t raced against Dan (Wheldon) and a couple other guys in the series, but all the frontrunners I’ve run against in my career.”

(About Edmonton) “You really have to be quick here to do well. It’s kind of like Cleveland where if you’re not on the pace, you’re really going to struggle. From that standpoint, the car has got to be good here. To stay in the front, you have to have the pace to do that, because it’s not too difficult to pass. I’ve been here before, Justin (Wilson) has been here before, the Champ Car guys have been here before, but the top level at this game, guys like (Scott) Dixon, Helio (Castroneves) and (Tony) Kanaan, they can learn a track in 10, 15 minutes. From that standpoint, there’s a small advantage maybe going into the first practice, second practice, but by the time qualifying comes, the top teams will have it figured out.”
