That's Racing...

Hi all,

I wanted to make sure I posted on Leap Day! Happy Leap Day! :)

So, the latest news is that Scott's race team is shutting down. It has been a busy past two weeks in racing with Champ Car and the Indy Racing League merging, leaving only one open-wheel series in North America. With the merger, the owner of the team decided he "didn't want to play anymore, so he's packing up his toys and going home". This development leaves a lot of good people out of work, Scott included, and looking for jobs.

It really sounds worse than it is. Seriously. Scott's got great contacts and I have complete faith in his skills and abilities--he will find something very quickly. It may be here in Indianapolis, or it may be elsewhere, but regardless our little family will be fine. If all else fails, here's our backup plan:


:)

Anyway, we'll keep you posted on the goings-on. We're hoping to stay in Indy...it's great here! Liam and I have met a lot of friends--both for mommy and for Liam. Scott has been hanging out with other racing-types and is getting involved in the triathlon/marathon world here as well, so we're doing well here!

Anyway, I'll leave you with these quotes from driver Paul Tracy--ever the outspoken one--regarding the closing down of his team and the loss of his ride:

“I’m in shock and I’m very, very disappointed,” Tracy told SPEEDTV. “Right now, I need to quickly regroup, regain my composure and then start looking for another ride – and I mean in IndyCar. The team may be done, but I’m ready to go racing.” “I got a call from Neil (Micklewright, president of Forsythe Racing) this morning and he said, ‘I’ve got some bad news for you,’” related Tracy from his home in Las Vegas.
“Neil said he’d been trying to get a hold of my manager but he was having a colonoscopy today. That’s ironic ‘cause that’s what I feel like I got.”

I guess a lot of people felt that yesterday. Oh, Paul...you should be a poet. You're wasting your talents.

Love,
