Interesting to read that Michael Andretti will be running the #1 at Indianapolis.
Why is Wheldon not running it at Ganassi? |

I think because the entrant has the right to the number, so the only other guy who really could have had it was Dario but Mike wants it for himself - fair enough really.

Looks like Panther has just ate a bullet.
EVERYTHING MUST GO! http://www.keyliquidators.com/panthervideo.html People keep saying Panther is going to run one car, but I don't see how if you sell off all of your equipment down the coffee machine, 2 transporters and 8 cars. |

Only four of those cars are competition-ready Dallaras that are current IRL specs...
two are show cars, anothr is a 1991 Lola with a Buick Turbo and the other is a Van Diemen formula SCCA chassis... I don't know how many chassis they actually have in their shops... But they said they were going to auction off the gear that they did not need so that they would still have enough gear and such to run one car... At least that is what John Barnes said in December... That may have changed since then...who knows... BTW...they are selling the four competition Dallaras separately.... Wonder if any of it has a reserve on it??? I would assume that it would... I'll wait and see what comes about in the coming weeks... |

I imagine there would be a reserve, but it's definitely a buyer's market.
Watching the video and reading the auction list, it seems apparent that it's a total liquidation, unless they are going to run a car off the back of a pickup truck. |

Unless I somehow missed it....
Nowhere in that video did it say "Everything Must Go".... I also compared the auction list to the video...only one transporter trailer was listed as up for auction in the list... Not that it matters... |

Assuming they are going to run one car, my question would be with what and how? Why bother too, going 1 car up against 3 and 4 car mega teams. Doesn't seem like a competitive chance to me. The only driver you're going to get to drive the car is some washed up old boy that wasn't worth a crap to begin with. I don't know how many current dallara's the team has, but why wouldn't they keep another 1 or 2 of the ones that are up for auction? What happens if your driver goes to the first race and cannonballs the car into the wall and it explodes like a dinner plate hitting the floor? To me it'd make sense to have that extra chassis around, as that would probably be cheaper than to have than to source a new car. |

If you look back at the article that was on Speed, John Barnes addressed this, mountainstar..
He said that he had plenty of gear that he could sell, yet still have what was necessary to operate a one-car team....that would obviously include a backup car... also remember that Panther actually ran a 3-car team at Indy last year...so they could see 4 cars and still have two that are race ready to compete with this season |
