Oh, I don't now about that. If not now, we're getting pretty close.

If you are a race car driver, and you crash before Turn 1, Lap 1, due to your own incompetence, do you get fired?

For the kids in USF2000, I think it depends on their talent, and the sponsorship they can bring. A local kid made his debut in USF2000 at St.Pete. He did very well finishing 8th and then 11th in his two races. He is also involved in robotics at his school and seems to have his head on his shoulders. He attended a local SCCA meeting to talk about his racing experience and made for a pleasant interview subject. Greg and I attended that meeting.

Owners reporting catastrophic engine failure for FRS and BRZ that have had the valve spring recall completed:

I hope Toyota and Subaru back up their work and get the affected owners taken care of. I fear Toyota will lose credibility going the partnership route for its sports cars and sourcing engines from elsewhere.

Have fun and take lots of pics. And wave to the cameras as some of us will be watching on TV.
