2006 CCWS Silly Season - Page 8

D.R.T. · 29 Dec 2005, 02:14 (Ref:1491222)

Word from a few news sources from Australia over Christmas suggested Ryan Briscoe is about to sign for PKV. This goes against what Kalkovin, Vasser have been saying about not confirming drivers untill January.

At the end of this I do hope Dalziel ends up with a PKV seat.

A link regarding the above Briscoe rumours:
http://www.smh.com.au/news/Sport/Bri...445565727.html
...Ryan Briscoe is poised to sign with Champ Car team PKV Racing...

If true I'm quiet curious where CDM will end up. I almost wonder if his stock hasn't fallen after his lackluster 2005 season.

Milka's DP win was with Andy Wallace sharing the car with her. I wonder if Dennis Vitolo couldn't have pulled off a victory if he'd traded off his car with Montoya?

From what I've seen the driver statagy seemed quiet transparent, Wallace drove when they needed to go fast. I know you could make the same criticism of any driver sharing a car with another, but as I say, to me it seemed a little more blatent.

D.R.T. · 29 Dec 2005, 03:44 (Ref:1491240)

Yeah the CDM situation is intruiging. As if he doesnt stay with PKV apart from Forsythe, I dont see who else could/would sign him within Champ Car.

GBoehm · 29 Dec 2005, 05:27 (Ref:1491253)

I guess a quiet offseason is better than doom and gloom eh....

mountainstar · 29 Dec 2005, 05:48 (Ref:1491257)

Milka Duno does have some talent, but isn't top drawer and I'm sure everyone knows that. However if she ends up with a champcar seat, I can't say I would complain.

CDM, I've never been a fan of. I'd rather see DL in the PKV seat.

marcus · 29 Dec 2005, 06:00 (Ref:1491258)

I quite like Dennis Vitolo , I thought he was a true battler , his story is an impressive one even if his results were'nt

anyway yes all the news papers over here in Australia are suggesting that Briscoe is almost a done deal , I'd like to see it because I think the kid has some talent and prefer to see him on road courses.

of course he got called up for Toyota F1 testing duties last week so I guess he is still held in some regard

dont know much at all about milka duno though , but if she is good enough lets see how she goes

coyote9999 · 29 Dec 2005, 14:27 (Ref:1491425)

I was hoping for Pantano. It is still too early to tell. I'm surprised we have not heard anything from Forsythe this far.

perfectly_frank · 29 Dec 2005, 14:50 (Ref:1491439)

Me too, coyote: I watched Pantano race the pants off of many top OW drivers in Watkins Glen. He's got the goods.

Amar7605 · 29 Dec 2005, 17:48 (Ref:1491528)

Hey - if both Milka Duno and Katherine Legge get rides, wouldn't Champ Car be the first major series with two female competitors?

Omega99 · 29 Dec 2005, 18:28 (Ref:1491549)

Not if you count the Indianapolis 500 a few years ago. IIRC, Sarah Fisher and another woman (whose name I can't recall) both qualified and competed in the race.

macdaddy · 29 Dec 2005, 20:31 (Ref:1491599)

Lynn St. James?

StickShift · 29 Dec 2005, 21:14 (Ref:1491628)

Yes, it was Lyn St. James. Didn't they crash together in the race too?

Alwaysfirst · 29 Dec 2005, 21:37 (Ref:1491640)

By the way, does anybody know how Dan Clarke (a British F3 race winner for those who don't know) did in his Conquest test?

Bezzen · 29 Dec 2005, 23:09 (Ref:1491692)

@alwaysfirst

Here are the combined testing results. Pretty hard, as ever, to draw any conclusions since the boys and girl were on track on different days and had different amounts of testing time....

2 G. Pantano - PKV Racing 50.900
3 R. Briscoe - PKV Racing 51.000
4 R. Dalziel - PKV Racing 51.500
5 K. Legge - PKV Racing 51.500
6 C. Zwolsman - Mi-Jack Conquest Racing 51.800
7 A. Danielsson - Mi-Jack Conquest Racing 52.100
8 J. Heylen - Mi-Jack Conquest Racing 52.100
9 R. Lyons - Rocketsports Racing 52.200
10 K. Legge - Rocketsports Racing 53.200
11 D. Clarke - Mi-Jack Conquest Racing 53.500
12 T. Kasemets - Mi-Jack Conquest Racing 54.400

Certainly, but you have to remember it's also Christmas week, and everyone from the people that make the news to the people that write the news are having a well earned break!

Once 2006 rolls around, announcements will be forthcoming, of that I am sure

GBoehm · 30 Dec 2005, 00:53 (Ref:1491725)

I hope so.... This is killin me.

Amar7605 · 30 Dec 2005, 08:43 (Ref:1491796)

Well at least there isn't any speculation of doom and gloom for a change!

coyote9999 · 30 Dec 2005, 15:07 (Ref:1491977)

Imagine if we would be in 2007 how this would be even more exciting.

GBoehm · 30 Dec 2005, 17:29 (Ref:1492072)

Yes... Only Macdaddy's videos are keeping me alive... That and some from my own collection.... Though my computer has a DVD burner now and now I have a DVD recorder for my TV...

Oh yeah! I remember watching the movie last month on cable. Great film!

Oh BTW everyone:

macdaddy · 1 Jan 2006, 04:20 (Ref:1492720)

I thought that EVERYBODY had eaten at Alice's little restaurant. It's not hard to find - just a half mile from the railroad track.

Snrub · 1 Jan 2006, 04:25 (Ref:1492722)

Without your CC speed fix have you resorted to chemical means?

I think part of the solution to the lack of racing is coming up with some better topics of discussion! It's been feeling very stale around here lately. If anyone has any ideas, PLEASE start some new threads!
