Where's Jimmy heading?
I've been out of the loop of things for a while, so this might be a stupid question. But does anyone have any news on where, and for whom, Jimmy Vasser will be racing this season?

Nobody knows nothin' right now. But I expect that an announcement regarding Jimmy will be one of the first ones we'll hear.

Does anyone have any preliminary ideas? Any good gossip floating around out there? I would sincerely hope he lands with a team that can actually put him in some solid equpment that will allow him to compete on a week in/week out basis.

No-one seems to know except Jimmy and PG/KK. But there will be an announcement.

Crash.net, in an "exclusive", say that Vasser is heading to PK.

Looks like he does have a drive now, with PK. Great to see his career continue - as an established star, and a popular American figure, he is essential for the series gathering a domestic following.

It's basically been confirmed that he'll be at PK with Gonzalez. Great to see Jimmy continue into what is the twilight of his career.
Hopefully Salo can pick up a seat somewhere. |

What happened to Gonzalez with Herdez? Salo should have the PK seat

Salo turned down the PK seat, citing that their salary offer wouldn't even pay for his insurance!

I agree with that statement Dov. Wish I knew what happened with Pollock and Kalkhoven. Is it possible that Pollock is going to field his own team, or is the split not amicable and Pollock is out completely?
