"Linda: I suppose you would rather believe Rumors than FACTS ! How Pitifull"

"WHAT this FORUM NEEDS is MORE FACTS and LESS SPECULATION !!! LINDA : JUST WHERE DID THIS RUMOR COME FROM ??? OR WHO DID YOU IT FROM ???"

"Beaux Barfield, age 40, attended Curt Cavin's Burger Bash Friday night on 96th street.  I asked him exactly how many laps he was going to let the Lotus (Judd) run.  He said ten----only ten.  Well, he was a man of his word and I…"

"Think you are right about that,,,will they pull the plug for this season,,concentrate on F1?"

"What will Lotus do NOW ? I tend to think that Internal Corp Politics and Cash Flow will Dictate their next move ."

"Parking the Lotus cars was unfortunate, but they were slower than the rest of the field,,,I guess the question is,,what will Lotus do now?"

"Shouldn't you be refering to him as Mr Ashley Judd???? As for playing nice....It already has. What do you think this rules package is about? Its called "Parity 101" .....we all must play fair !!! That is why the ratings…"

"QUITE Simply the RESTARTS were AWESOME ! Can someone explain the Conway / Power incident to me ? Why was Conway out there with a damaged front wing ? Only part of the race I missed ."

"I will admit that Dario and his team ran a great race. ...right up to T1 on Lap 200. >:("

"Niggity, it will be interesting to see, Marco was pretty hooked up, Chevy ran stronger earlier and fell off it seemed. Did race distance play into it, and if so the other ovals may be a different story."

"So are we looking at the Hondas outperforming Chevy on ovals and Chevy dominating the road/street courses? The rest of the season will be fun to watch."
