Ulrich got a bye?

I'm not prepared to go that far knowing how many past side deals
Proracing made and I'm told that particular deal was one of them. What
I feel that hurt Ulrich's case, or veracity was learning about it a
month later in CN..

I'm told from Nip dealers I know that SB (litre's and up) profit
margins are among the highest and we know how much they like money and
them leaving WSB had as much, or more to do with MGP's monetary drain
than anything else. Sure, they didn't like losing control, or being
told how it would be, but money was surely at root of it too..

Why? When Proracing was changing Captain's and direction more often
than I got haircuts I gave them chances (waaay too many) and DMG's plan
hasn't even been presented, at least publicly, so what's the point in
trying to shoot down something that hasn't even taxied, much less tried
to fly? The only thing anybody outside of DMG is really sure of is that
things are going to change. Change, by the way, that had to be made in
order to, not only survive, but improve. Now, we may not like what they
feel is improvement, but unless you know Bill Gates, or someone in that
rarified aire it's pretty much tuff darts, doncha' think?

 

Well WSS600 and FX is pretty close to that now. And if you allow a lot
of modification, you also have to cope with the spiralling costs. It's
pretty hard to see why a 600 SB should be much cheaper to build and run
than a 1000 SB.

Ulrich and the Team Hammer Times attacking another publication/
reporter/team? Say it ain't so!


Go fast. Take chances.

Attacking? More like a counter attack, and from the looks of it so far
a very successful one! Unfortunately for Abrams and CN they didn't
consider the "windage" involved and only ended up bulls-eyeing their
own feet and now Ulrich's chewing some ass...

Btw, Erion *DID* get caught with their hand in the cookie/pony jar and
as I said earlier, once that happens it's time to man-up and beg
forgiveness, but no. (double dumb!) The sad part is now a decent dude
(Hayes) is forever marked a cheater and all he really wanted this year
was a decent SB ride...

What were they thinkin'? Heh, ya' think there weren't some tight
sphincters when they popped off the oil pan that evening and can you
imagine the phone call to Kevin? "Err, boss, we're sooo fucked!" "Oh
yeah, tell Josh they want the trophy back." As far as I'm concerned
this a textbook case of how not to handle getting caught. For
comparison, yesterday Schumacher got caught with unapproved fuel in his
trailer(never even used, it was just there) at the Vegas NHRA meet, the
fine? $100,000.00, but he manned up and said yeah, we fucked up and
while I'm fairly sure they'll try to get the fine reduced they were
smart/man enough to admit the mistake...

I really expected more from Erion than his red/blue BS...

 

And Chaz Davies wins the Daytona 200. Yay!

 

Indeed...

 

And he did that by screwing his teammate, coming in under Rapp's pit
signal and causing a ride-thru. I guess Chaz did learn something about
racing etiquette while doing 250 GP...

 

Abrams put his foot in his mouth and Ulrich's taking full advantage of
it, but don't think for a second he doesn't have a skeleton, or 5 in
his closet, remember, it's racing..
The only thing I've read so far I can't come to terms with is how much
RRW says a "mike" polish costs. $200 for a crank? Maybe, but I thinkin'
only if they did a few and that makes me wonder where the others are.
Whatever the deal they got and wherever they ended up, I kinda' doubt
any will show up this weekend at Barber...
