As we gear up for this weekend’s G.I. Joe’s Grand Prix in Portland, naturally the talk of the world is Michael Jackson’s acquittal of all 10 charges brought forth by the district attorney. No way you going to send Jackson to jail. He’s Michael Jackson darn it!
Celebrities like him don't get sentenced. Everybody knows that. They wasted a year and a half of court time and tax payers money for the conclusion we all saw coming. Jury of his peers? I don’t think so. Did you see that bunch? Did you really think they were going to convict him?

But I digress and that’s my law commentary for the day. Hope your still reading….

I can’t explain why the Milwaukee features have yet to hit the champcar website. I gave to the appropriate people a week ago. Its in their hands and has been for a while.

Two Atlantics race going on this weekend in Portland and two Atlantics races next week in Cleveland for our guys and girl. This is the perfect opportunity for Speed and Champ Car to expose the world to the lovely and talented Katherine Legg. 4 races in the span of a week. That’s a heavy schedule for them, especially running two races in Cleveland, where it’s inevitably going to be 130 degrees all weekend. Maybe I’ll go find Katherine Legg and do an interview with her. That sounds like a good idea. I’ll help expose our talented driver to the world!!! Wow, all of a sudden I’m turning into the IRL and thinking only of Katherine Legg, despite a series that includes Antoine Bessette her teammate at Polestar. The series leader Charles Zwolsman at Condor motorsports or American Tonis Kasemets, who many think is the future of Americans in open-wheel racing.

Jon Fogarty dominated last year’s event in Portland, leading all 32 laps. Somehow, with the first two races as indications this year and with the newly developed Festival Curve at Portland, I don’t think its going to be a parade. There’s a hunger in Atlantics this year, no seen in a few years. Maybe its because its full of rookies trying to make their mark, but the races this year have been unpredictable and exciting. And in the next week, we get 4 of them!! Its important for Champ Car to continue to support the Atlantics and provide their drivers with opportunities to try-out for Champ Car down the road. Naturally, not all can make it. But they should be given a chance to test.

Champ Car baby! Champ Car for life!
