infiniti canada : That was my next question, thanks. It seems awfully short notice to have only 1 more than half the drivers announced 3 weeks before the first race. Is the Chicagoland test on the 24th? Maybe I should go on over with my helmet? ;) That's odd, because the URL I was using does eventually bounce you to Ah hah, indymotorspeedway.com isn't "real" either. Now I see, thanks. Assuming they get the grid together for the first race, how much seat team are these drivers going to have in these cars before they are in a qualifying or race situation? Seems like hardly any, to me.From: ()Subject: Re: Infiniti Out of IRL in 2003! Newsgroups: Date: 2002-06-18 18:13:42 PST The problem right now is motors. Quite a few teams have cars, itis just that most don't have a motor ready to go testing. That isthe problem Foyt has. Sinden should kick ass this year, they arethe only ones with significant test time. Foyt is supposed to berunning at Texas once they have the engine. A big problem is thatsome teams have test time, but the drivers weren't in the car. Ibeleive that is the case with Sinden, who had McGehee run the carat two tracks.
infiniti canada : This is probably a stupid question, but why, given that the series sponsor is the ( nominal ) engine-maker, is this a problem? Is Infiniti that tapped-out trying to keep Sheckter in motors? Is it a TWR problem? This strikes me as a fairly major screw-up, and I'm not just trying to chicken-little. How long ago was the IPS first announced? Didn't someone forsee the need for *motors*? 18 days 'til the opener and the engine-builder is thrashing to supply the field? Answering my own question; details of the IPS formula were announced on August 31st of 2001. ( And at that time, they were anticipating a 12-race 2002 season, instead of 7; which would have meant even more motors, even sooner. ) Is there a good reason for this, or is Joe Heitzler somehow involved?From: ()Subject: Re: Infiniti Out of IRL in 2003! Newsgroups: Date: 2002-06-18 19:37:35 PST Shouldn't be. These engines are short stroke production motors thathave ben tweaked. I'm not sure. Whoever is responsible had the foresight to startbailing ASAP.Most everyone didnt seeit, but with the Infinity pro series, it made sense.Even with the horsepower, no one was ready to jump to the Infinity, andthats too bad, as it mad big hp, but its reliability woes held back most ofthe prospective customers.Just my thoughts.

infiniti canada : PEP BOYS INDY RACING LEAGUE NOTEBOOKIndianapolis 500 veteran Crawford to help Brant Racing develop car INDIANAPOLIS, April 8, 1999 - Indianapolis 500 veteran JimCrawford has been signed by Brant Racing as a car development consultantfor the rest of the 1999 Pep Boys Indy Racing League season. Crawford competed in eight Indianapolis 500's, with a best finishof sixth in 1988. He led eight laps in 1988. He started fourth in the 1989Indianapolis 500, his best starting spot. Andy Michner drives the Brant Racing Riley &Scott/Aurora/Goodyear. "As one of only a couple of teams planning to use the car and theSpeedway this year, we need all hands on deck," Brant Racing team managerMark Scott said. "Jim and I enjoyed a tremendous relationship asdriver-chief mechanic in the 1980s, and I think he'll be a tremendousasset to the team, especially Andy, Bob Riley and myself." *** Testing, testing: 1998 Indianapolis 500 champion Eddie Cheever Jr. recently tested at Atlanta Motor Speedway, hitting 220 mph unofficially onthe 1.5-mile quad-oval with his new Infiniti engine. "It's a great track to run at, but it's also a hard track,"Cheever said. "Drafting and traffic can play a critical factor in howwell you run. I'm sure we will do a lot of testing here this year." Cheever recently switched from Oldsmobile Aurora to NissanInfiniti power for his The Children's Beverage Group Dallara car, whichuses Goodyear tires. Pep Boys Indy Racing League drivers will race at the track July 17in the Atlanta 500 Classic. .Scott Goodyear turned an unofficial lap of 221 mph - faster thanthe track record - to lead the speed charts during testing April 1 atLowe's Motor Speedway in Charlotte, N.C. The official track record is 220.498 set by Tony Stewart in 1998. Pep Boys Indy Racing League drivers will compete on the 1.5-mileoval during the VisionAire 500 on May 1, the first night race of the year.Pole Night qualifying is April 30. Goodyear leads the Pep Boys Indy Racing League point standings inthe Pennzoil Panther G Force/Aurora/Goodyear. "Tire tests are certainly different from an all-out qualifyingspeed run," Goodyear said. "With the proper qualifying setup, we couldsee a pole speed of 225 mph when we return later this month. Goodyear hasan excellent tire for here and we should see a great race when we comeback in a few weeks." .Andy Michner showed promise during testing April 1at Lowe's Motor Speedway at Charlotte, N.C., heading toward an unofficiallap of approximately 222 mph on the 1.5-mile oval before the right-rearpushrod failed on his Brant Racing Riley & Scott/Aurora/Goodyear. Michnerguided the car to the pits without incident. The team clocked the lap from the turn four exit, where Michner'spushrod failed. The pushrod failure also damaged the gearbox and other parts,ending the team's test. Still, Michner appeared to be headed toward a lapfaster than the track record, 220.498 set by Tony Stewart in 1998, if hiscar stayed intact through the start-finish line. .Rookie Robby McGehee tested recently at Atlanta Motor Speedway,unofficially averaging around 212 mph on the 1.5-mile quad-oval. McGehee plans to make his Pep Boys Indy Racing League debut withConti Racing at the VisionAire 500 on May 1 at Charlotte, N.C. He also isparticipating in the Indianapolis 500 Rookie Orientation Program thisweekend at Indianapolis Motor Speedway. *** Teeing off: Pep Boys Indy Racing League driver Scott Harrington,an avid golfer, recently added Titleist as an associate sponsor for hisHarrington Motorsports Dallara/Infiniti/Firestone. Titleist makes golf balls, clubs and golf apparel. Harrington is still searching for a primary sponsor, but hiscareer-best fifth-place finish in the MCI WorldCom 200 on March 28 atPhoenix is helping his efforts. "We've had tons of phone calls sincePhoenix; lots of people called to congratulate us," Harrington said. "Thenumber of calls has picked up on people inquiring about assisting the teamtoo, which is always good." ***
