Also, seems Luyendyk Jr. hasn't fully given up on a seat in the IndyCar series just yet; Quote:

How has he looked so far? A chip off the old block, or is his name giving him undeserved opportunities?
I really wish Sam could get the funding to run the IRL again, but at least he's got a team on track. |

I think he got himself a few podiums last year. Didn't actually see him race though.

Yes, but unless that Panther car was using Nos then you'd have serious thoughts about signing someone that got given such a whoopin' by an Englishmen having his first crack at ovals.
Is his Pa going to Indy this year? Last edited by Hazza; 11 Feb 2004 at 00:59. |

Undeserved opportunities is an under statment, He takes a lot for granted is what im told, kind of forgets to appreciate the whole situation, according to a very close friend of mine who graduated with him, and an X ff2000 race engineer of his. But good luck anyway I hope he can do a good job this year.
PEACE |

Has he got any opposition in IPS this year?
Only about 3 cars are signed up. The series has had a chance to flourish and failed. If they can't get more than 16 cars, cancel it. |
