Poached from AutoSport On Line:

"Carpentier to drive against Air Force CF18


Team Player's have announced their participation in a bizarre contest to be held on June the 20th, when they will pit their Champ Car against an airforce CF18 Hornet jet fighter.

Canadian Patrick Carpentier will line up against one of the most powerful weapons his country's armed forces possesses, with 32,000lbs of thrust and the ability to achieve 180 knots before it even leaves the ground.

His mount will be his usual Reynard-Ford Champ Car, somewhat trimmed out for straight line speed.

"It must be quite a feeling to see a CF18 in your rear view mirror," said Carpentier.

"This event will certainly show the courage and composure that race car drivers and jet pilots must possess, requiring razor sharp precision at high speeds using state-of-the-art technology," said Colonel Dwight D. Davies of the Canadian air force."

Personally I think this is the nuttiest thing I have seen since Joie Chitwood's Thrill Show. What do you think?
