Re: Any news on..........

Everyone here has a real short memory. The Enders left VC because the sponsor Slammers wanted 100% percent control over money made by promoting Erica regardless of who made the deal. They also at the time already delinquent on there payments. Gregg said no and there response was that she wasn't driving for them. If Jeg hadn't stepped in they would have no cars right now at VC.

When you sign up with a sponsor there is a contract. In that contract it states where all funding goes. The only way it changes if all parties agree. I'm sure VC and EE had a binding contract with Slammers.

I remember after Slammers pulled out, that Victor had stated he was considering his legal options, meaning law suit. I have never heard if he went through with filing suit.

I agree with you, that JEG's is the one saving VC.

Hey Mike,

Victor's a smart dude. I think the prospect of suing a company whose only physical asset was a warehouse full of rapidly spoiling dairy products probably didn't make a lot of sense to him when he looked into it.

Re: Any news on..........

So my question has always been, why leave Victors operation for Schumacher. All Schumacher had to offer was a non sponsored car that was about a tenth slower than her previous ride. Victor or someone was funding that car for months before Slammers came along, so why not wait til' Victor pulls the plug and in the mean time EE coulda been winning rounds and races with that Hornik/Steve Johns power !!

I agree, I don't know Don Schumacher so I don't want say anything negative towards him but I think someone sold her on making this move with some handshake promises and they obviously didn't pan out. Erica needs to get back with VC , she's marketable and if she had a competitive ride the money would come.
