Hmmm... I heard Humpy Wheeler speak at a dinner last night. He was the Founder of Charlotte Motorspeedway and pretty famous track promoter for Salt Flats, Indy 500 and NASCAR for many years. He's heavily involved and he has meetings with Bernie in last two months. The required $23Million is available for the F1 rights so Bernie is very agreeable... we'll see.

Humpy was quite a speaker... told a lot of stories from NASCAR and CMS. He stirred up the famous Dale Earnhardt vs Darrell Waltrip fight to create some market interest from the crowd... he told each things the other said....it worked! He also said he is pushing for 2013 NASCAR to consider running in rain on rain tires. He was also the voice of Tex on Pixar movie CARS. He autographed a copy of his book "Growing Up NASCAR" for me ... will let you know what I think.

I'd rather he put the money into more Austrian V8 Supercar races int he states.

Or a decent prototype field in ALMS.
