Macdaddy, you started an interesting thread about rumours and when you read everyone's views, it shows a lot of balls are still in the air. For NASCAR.com to publish rumors about movement, it's one thing. That series is healthy. For cart.com to do it is to keep the balls in the air and some kind of buzz going to ACT like it's healthy, which begs a load of questions.
If Yoong is solid, why hasn't anything been announced? If Walker's operation with two cars is solid, why did Lavin announce in Mexico and the story got pulled from cart.com at Walker's request? Why the mystery and drama over Pantano? Why hasn't Newman-Haas announced what it's doing? What's the holdup on Rocketsports announcing a driver if it's solid? Why hasn't anything happened with Tagliani? Where are the loose ends in Johansson's effort and if Vasser is there, why hasn't he been announced? If CART is helping Herta (read Pookfare), why isn't the deal done with Patrick? The Pollock deal is a fine rumor, but that equipment will be tied up in bankruptcy court until it's obsolete, so why surmise that this is "real?"
The answer to all these is one word: Money.
