Shekter to get Cheever seat
As a fan of the south African, I must admit i hope he beats Wheldon and co. to the seat. Shekter beat the existing speed from last year, by 2mph. he's taken well to the car for someone who has never driven on an oval before.

Word is that the heavy smokin & drinkin Al Unser Jr will take the seat.
Though Tomas deserves another chance! Himself and Sato are good rivals, if Sato gets into f1, then Tomas deserves a shot at top class motorsport! |

After Red Bulls talk of wanting a young American I dont understand why Wheldon and Scheckter got tested... well I expect Daddy paved the way for Thomas the Tank Engine....

I really want Dan Wheldon to get the seat. Scheckter is a naughty boy and shouldn't get the seat.

"Scheckter is a naughty boy and shouldn't get the seat." Oh, come on, now. Hopefully Tomas can be more descreet over here. then again, over here, our former president got away with the same sort of thing. Tomas little legal trouble over there will only get him slapped on the back and kidded over here. But Tomas WAS naughty. What happened to him is the kind of thing that makes me glad I'm not famous. Bad enough to get caught, worse to have the world know about it. And forget about anyone else getting that seat. The deal is done, baby! Not only has scheckter been near top of the testing timesheets, he is spanking car owner Cheever. He has been streaking on all three tracks he's been on so far. Lots of oldtimers are saying he looks like a veteran. |
