Perhaps estate planning during an optimal period for inheritance taxes?

Can a PCA race be far behind?

Just watched the live cast press conference. Nothing of note except that Marshall Pruett was the first non-local journalist to call in. Noticeable in his absence from the press conference was my favorite, Robin Miller. I guess continuously referring to Tony George as the village idiot wasn't a good idea after all.

I'm guessing implementing the 25/8 rule cannot be far behind.

Penske said something about teams committed to a full schedule, but it was just about the time I had stopped paying attention so didn't get the entire comment. He was generally was non-committal towards questions about changes, though he did make comment about wishing to get F1 to the Speedway, wanting to keep NASCAR there, and the Charlotte Roval would be interesting.

I vote for 24 hours of Indy - run the oval backwards and the GP track

I'm secretly plotting my return so as to knock Hunt down a few notches

Perhaps you have a truck and trailer you can see me for a steal?
