I understand THAT....that's why I can't understand "diving" for your team...but then that's just me.

OK Alan, here's hoping you have sense of humor:

What's that say for Jeff Arend against Del?

I've never fancied being told I don't understand something, like that miserable Jeep sticker:
It's a Jeep thing . . . . . .you wouldn't understand.

I've considered putting a sticker on the back of our transporter in large letters that reads:
"It's a horsepower thing . . . . . . Jeep people wouldn't understand"

Re: Why should Powers/Fuller Stay?

I can answer that for you Doc:

Racers race, unless it interferes with business ... if you don't understand that ... you never will.

THANK YOU ALAN!!!

For me, no matter who wins this race, the big winner is Melanie, Morgan, & their entire organization!!!

Sure, but it's not up to the racer to decide if they stay. It's up to the guy footing the bill. Sooner or later it becomes a business decision whether Hot Rod wants to stay or not.

I'd just love to know where all this talk is coming from?? They are there to finish the race simple as that. I have not read any talk of them leaving

Re: Why should Powers/Fuller Stay?

If Fuller stays and wins, that puts another WIN on his resume....don't forget they are looking for a full time sponsor. Plus, who knows, perhaps the big CAT office is watching what they do. A few classy moves may go a long way.

Re: Why should Powers/Fuller Stay?

But what is a bigger race to win, this one or Indy? I would be packing and and on my way to testing. What happens if this race doesn't finish tomorrow?

Re: Why should Powers/Fuller Stay?

If it wasnt for Ransome CAT- Fuller would not have had CAT on the car at all this year from my understanding...

Then again, what do I know-

Re: Why should Powers/Fuller Stay?

In my wildest dreams, I could never imagine a team, any team, leaving a race that they were in the final of. Business aside, it would be a slap in the face to the entire team, especially the crew that work their asses off on a daily basis.

Re: Why should Powers/Fuller Stay?

Because they want to win....period.

...has anyone thought the crew may get a decent bonus for a national event win???

...and you folks are putting way to much into this Indy test...the track won't even be the same when they come back there in a week.
