Wait a minute. You mean to tell me the dozens of article which say His Infernal Incompetence has lived in Arizona, California, NY, and NC are all wrong? You mean that Magic Johnson was wrong in the interviews he gave saying that the Majestic Maladroit lived in LA? That the Mecklenburg County Tax Assessors Office showing the Imperial Incompetent’s residency in 2008 is also wrong? How can so many people and an official agency be so wrong? But then, this is the mouthpiece for the Moronic Majesty who said he knows what’s best for the sport, said we were getting back to basics, said the Uni-Car would provide exciting racing, and also wanted to bring back all the long time race fans.
It seems to be the week for the France family being in the news. It seems that JC France is trying to get back his driver’s license: France's attempt to recoup driver's license denied So even though he was nabbed for street racing, being intoxicated, refused to take a sobriety test, and in possession of crack cocaine, he thinks he deserves to have his license back even though he is a menace to the health and well-being of the general public? He thinks that the 34 previous traffic violations he has makes him qualified to get his license back? Obviously he has been hitting the pipe if he thinks he’s going to get it back. And since he’s been recently spotted driving around Daytona without a license, he’s just asking to add insult to injury.
If you’re bored during the off-season and need to kill some time, go to this web site: www.clerk.org/cv/servlet/org.clerk and enter the names of The Emperor of All Things NA$CAR, James C. France, Amy Lea France, Jamison or Jameson Colfax (JC) France, Ramsey Poston, and Lesa D. Kennedy and you can see just how “good” the Royal Family and the Royal Spokesman for the Ministry of Propaganda operate motor vehicles. With JC France, you’ll come up with about 34 traffic citations ranging from things like running a red light to speeding to riding a motorcycle without a helmet. Operating a motorcycle without a helmet might answer a question or two about JC’s recent actions. You’ll also find some of these characters are driving without a seat belt, no proof of insurance, driving unsafe equipment, speeding, and driving without a license. No wonder His Highness insisted on the Camry of Today for the teams to drive. Maybe they need a street version for the Royal Family of Daytona to drive.
Since Mayfield got himself some new legal eagles, they’ve been hitting back more often than his previous legal counsel: Jeremy Mayfield filing alleges NASCAR’s conduct was intentional and reckless Minister of Propaganda Spokesman Pharaoh Ramses Posthole sure didn’t have much to say about this, which is a first. None of the usual gloating or pronouncements about how infallible NA$CAR’s case is. No beating of the chest and primal screams like Tarzan to proclaim yet another victory when they haven’t won anything anyways. Mayfield’s legal team is citing specifics unlike his previous lawyers. Unfair and deceptive trade practices, breach of contract, negligence, defamation, and discrimination . This is the first time we’ve actually seen what Mayfield is suing NA$CAR for in concrete terms. And some accusations which bring back a reminder of Tim Richmond and how his samples were tainted.
I had to laugh over this statement:
“We are happy to proceed with the discovery process, which in addition to the overwhelming scientific evidence, will make our case even stronger," Poston said.
Happy to proceed? Up to this point, NA$CAR and BZF have been trying to have the discovery process dismissed and have the trial thrown out. From what I’m hearing, the judge isn’t real happy with all of the foot dragging NA$CAR has been doing and the various tactics they’ve tried to either delay the proceedings or to get them tossed out altogether. Time to pay the piper Your Highness. That should be January 19th when you're deposed.
For those wondering what former crew chief Fatback McSwain is up to, he has officially retired from the racing business and has his own tire and automotive repair business in Dallas NC. Considering the economic uncertainty which is hanging over NA$CAR, it’s good to see Fatback is in a job which will give him some financial security. People are going to be needing tires for their cars and trucks for many years to come and they‘re going to need repairs, so this is a lot safer economically than being a crew chief one day and fired the next.
Apparently the Chinese purchase of Hummer isn’t going to be affecting Robby Gordon’s SCORE efforts. Surprisingly, the Chinese are enjoying the worldwide (except here) media exposure they’re getting from the various off-road racing series that have Hummers racing in them. This is good for Robby as he will probably enjoy some factory support after his contract runs out with GM. Let’s just hope they do a better job of building race parts than they have with toys.
With the lamestream NA$CAR media continuously going gaga over Damnica, here’s a few facts for all those media types who continuously pound out Damnica propaganda sheets. Sarah Fisher was the first woman to qualify an Indy Car on pole (Kentucky Speedway 2002.) First woman to lead a lap in an Indy Car race (not under a caution, either.) In '05 Sarah ran a 12 race schedule in the Winston West Series for Bill Maropoulos. 4 top 10's, 7 top 15's, 3 DNF's (2 mechanical.)
Let’s try Janet Guthrie in her NA$CAR efforts. In '77 Janet Guthrie raced part time in Winston Cup. 19 starts, 4 top 10's, 4 DNF's (all mechanical). She was also the first female driver to race in the Daytona 500 in 1977. And what else did Janet do? Janet posted two class victories in the 12 Hours of Sebring. In 1977, became 1st woman to race in Indianapolis 500; placed 9th at Indy in 1978. Janet has an engineering degree and tried to be an astronaut in NASA.
And how about Lyn St James? First woman to be named Indy 500 Rookie of the Year in 1992. Lyn St. James held over 30 closed course speed records over a 20 year period. 2-time GTO class winner of the Daytona 24 Hour ('87 & '90.) GTO class winner at the 12 Hours at Sebring ('90.) 62 IMSA GT races with 6 wins, 17 top 5's and 37 top 10's. Only woman to win a IMSA GT race driving solo at Watkins Glen (6 hours.)
And let’s see, just what is Damnica’s record again? A couple of go-kart championships, a second place in a Formula Ford race, and prior to Damnica's fuel mileage win at Motegi, Japan in 2008, the last race Damnica won in a sanctioned competitive series was in a go-kart in Kansas when she was 16. Not to mention the GED she got after dropping out of high school so she could race go-karts. This is nothing against her, but if the lamestream media is going to hype her to high heavens, they need to take a really good look at what she has actually accomplished and not at the hype that’s being generated about her, which they’re a part of.
And for those who may be interested, the new name for Charlotte Motor Speedway will be either Z-Max Speedway or Sonic Automotive Speedway once the contract with Lowe’s officially expires.
An interesting twist in the case of Charles Collins, the con man who was scamming female racing hopefuls with the promise of a TV reality series. It seems that the Mr. Collins sitting in jail has no fingerprints. He still hasn’t produced any ID to confirm his identity. It also seems that there are 2 men using the name of Charles Collins. One is about 6 inches taller than the other. Hmmm. I think some trickery is involved here and will show itself come his trial date, whenever that is.
