If he is smart, he'll bring in someone like Fisichella and Bruni, one for each cars existing lineups.

Can only have 1 Pro in the car for the GTE-Am class.

It looks like Martin Ragginger is also listed twice. In the Falken Porsche and JDX Porsche.

I'd love to see this happen but with a pro in the second car. Strong lineup in 01 with no compromises and let Brown have his fun in the Am car with someone like Griffin who'll push the car up the field.

Great to see the Franchittis racing together in the one car. Shame Chief Tucker is in their car though

Scott Tucker has evolved to be a very quick driver. He has been posting very competitive times during all the races this year and for the most part keeps his car on the track, unlike one of his co-drivers who has had several incidents. For a gentleman driver, I'll go out on a limb and say he's one of the fastest out there today. Remember he has driven P1, P2, PC, Trans-Am, IMSA Lites, DP and GT (Rolex), multiple Ferrari Challenge cars (F360, F430 and F458) and several SCCA titles at the runoffs! An amazing CV for someone who has only been racing for six years! I, and many others who watch him race regularly, have the utmost respect for him as a driver and so should you all!

JHamilton · 5 Oct 2012, 15:04 (Ref:3146646)

He gets lots of practice out running the Feds.

Respecting someone's talent behind the wheel of a car and their merit for being a good human being are two very different things...

Sorry, where was anything mentioned about anything other than his driving ability?

L.P.

Pretty much everywhere, and anytime his name is brought up.

Nowhere except the post that directly mentioned his criminal run-ins.

Oh , FFS , give over about Tucker and his misdoings . This is about sportscars , and he supplys 2 decent cars , or not ?

People who get involved in paycheck loans are fools , and they know that when they do it . Tucker is taking advantage , yes , but no more than your or anybodys elected governments for Gods sake .

If the man can peddle reasonably well , good for him .

According to you lot , Enge is a drug addict , Unser is a wife beating alcoholic , and Tucker is taking advantage of effing idiots . None of this is right , but people do stand in glasshouses , or are you all little bible bashing saintly angels too ?

If so , throw the first stone or shut up !!!

MitchZ06 · 6 Oct 2012, 08:07 (Ref:3146955)

Honestly? If I could I'd be doing exactly what Tucker is doing....mind you being dodgy runs in my family and I along with my parents, their parents, their parents, etc have alot of little misdeeds to our names (however, nothing so far a Police matter...) and I put it to anyone else out there, would you not do the same if it gave you as big a pay cheque as it does?

The Badger · 6 Oct 2012, 08:18 (Ref:3146961)

Tucker has found a loophole in the American law . If its so bad , then the Government should change the law .

This raises the question : Why hasnt the Government changed the law then , if Tucker is being such a bold little boy ?

While , maybe its not very nice what he is doing , he isnt behind bars either , nor has his team been confiscated , or anything else . Its only because of the loophole he has found , or is he the only paycheck loaner operating in North America ..... also , blame does also point to native Americans , as some of them are agreeable to this form of tradeing .

When you meet an ass , ride it , as the saying goes .

Mitch06 , dont you realise that this forum if full of little self appointed demi-Gods who wouldnt so much as stand on an ant and live in glasshouses and are prepared to cast the first stone ? ..... yeah , right !!!

The Badger · 6 Oct 2012, 12:53 (Ref:3147064)

Wow , 4 1/2 hours have passed since I posted ..... possibily people are reflecting about living in glasshouses and casting the first stone Mitch !!!

MitchZ06 · 6 Oct 2012, 13:01 (Ref:3147067)

Struggling to be honest with themselves! Pretty much all businesses (throw in religion, politics, anything) feeds on idiots so you can't use the morals argument...

The Badger · 6 Oct 2012, 13:27 (Ref:3147080)

Yeah , McDonalds are guilty of feeding people with rubbish , and is part of the obese issue with kids , taking advantage of kids ..... thats cool though !!!

It isn't so simple. His businesses misrepresent what they charge, and are likely to be found to be structured in an illegal manner, including tax evasion.

The Badger · 6 Oct 2012, 13:47 (Ref:3147087)

Tax evasion ..... LMAO ..... I know many people who are guilty of adjusting the books , are you saying you never have ?
If your fool enough to get involved with money lenders , you get what you deserve , imo .

If his business is being illegaly run , why isnt it closed down by now . Then who's fault is it , the ruleing authority which is ultimitly the Government .

Now , try taking them to court and see how far you get !!!

From the IRS too, from time to time.

I made a joke. Chuckle and move on. Everything has been so damn serious around here the past few years...
