Cheever returns to action

Eddie Cheever is to return to open-wheeler racer at the age of 48. The
former F1 man who went on to win the Indianapolis 500 and run his own
team in the Indy Racing League. The plan is for Cheever to take part in
the early seasons races and the Indy 500. Cheever has not raced in the
IRL since 2002.

Cheever Racing ran a two-car team in IRL last year but lost the support
of Red Bull at the end of last season and has yet to confirm an entry
beyond the four races planned for Cheever. The team seems to be
concentrating more on running a car in the GrandAm series with backing
from Crown Royal Special Reserve and in its team in the Indy Pro
Series.

Anything to put cars in the field. Cheever was a third-rate driver (at
best) at his peak. That was more than 10 years ago. This just proves
the [lack of value of the] IRL and how desperate they are to get more
than a dozen cars in teh field.

Maybe there will be an announcement that Wilford Brimley will drive one
of the Andretti cars. With the number of entrants, he's sure to make
the field.

AutoSports writer Curt Cavin at the Indianapolis Star would seem to
concur with a considerably differently assessment, i.e., as not > 16.7 %.

Nope, 5 of 30, but for those who are sufficiently confident
of that 1:4 ratio pretense, I'm more than willing to wager
that there will be more than twenty cars at Indy this year.
Any of you born liars and cowards have the courage of
your convictions? Of course not, never have, never will.

As always, you're (plural) all mouth.

This shit's just TOOOO easy!

Name your terms blowhard.

What are you betting; that AGR will be 5 of 30 entries? Or just your
schoolboy timidity, 'there will be more than twenty cars at Indy?'
Not betting the juggernaut IRL will make the traditional thirty-three
entries, eh? If you haven't the conviction and balls to bet that
TG's IRL will make the traditional number, your spinelessness
presents you and the IRL as whining failures. If you don't bet the
traditional thirty-three you've been reduced to elemental abject
cowardice, and subsequently you should just slink off to whatever
elemental scum from whence you hail. Thanks for playing, born liar and
cowardly dot!

The offered wager couldn't have been more clear, but the obsessed
bullshit artist responds, as easily goaded and fully expected, with his
inimitable, pathetically feeble attempts at obfuscation, with even more
supplemental "blah, blah blah" and the rantings and ravings of a lunatic.

Irrespective of their always wrong (but never contrite), pitifully failed
track record, we can all be certain that next year at this time, as with
former seasons, the tired claims that the IRL: will never roll a wheel,
will be dead, won't field 33 cars for the 500, will merge with whatever
the other series calls itself at the time..., will be trotted out yet again.

What a shocking surprise! What thoroughly effortless prey!!

Indeed. You're voluminous yet spineless retort confirms you're an
abject coward, dot. You haven't faith in your convictions; you just
proved that fact without question. So why not just cease your constant
stream of meaningless trivialities. You're a coward with no faith in
TG or the IRL to uphold their 'traditions.' The IRL, TG and you
are just nattering imbeciles with no substance, no plan and no
integrity.

Thanks for playing, born liar and cowardly dot!
