Carpentier

Patrick knew his days were numbered when he signed his last contract with Players. Although Forsythe was a partner in the team Players held all the cards and dictated who would drive at Forsythe, when Patrick signed his last contract he knew Players was leaving and he would be too. That is why he started looking at the IRL back then. Forsythe's treatment of him last spring just helped him confirm his thoughts.

Forsythe has the right to choose who drives for his team now and Patrick has the right to go where he is appreciated. It's a simple business decision on both sides and although I don't like Forsythes techniques (last spring). I also don't like Patricks decision to leave (his decision).

I will still continue to support Patrick and watch the CCWS.

I f you look at Patrick as a race car driver then his move is justafiable he left because he was used to the 1.5 million paycheck, afterall thats why Mika Salo left. But if you look at it from the point of view if patrick was a full CCWS supporter then he left because last year he was basically put aside for Rodolfo Lavin, because Paul was brought in to do what he couldnt, the reasons go on. My point is that he left because he didnt like it here plain and simple.

All this stuff about Forsythe being this big bad guy is total nonsense.

We can play this game of "Who shot John" all day, but the fact is Carp is gone, that's that and what we really need to be talking about is who is going to replace him either at Forsythe or in a general sense of new Canadian drivers.

It was a one-liner in the "notes"of Pit Pass in the Indianapolis Star on Friday, but Forsythe's now suing Player's......no details given.
