TS won every freaken thing he raced in, guys like him are wired differntly, he doesn't think anyone can beat him!

He's more likely to have a night out with his boys scheduled than anything else.

Also, tell me what promoter would not cream down their leg to have a "name " like TS associated with his event? AND NOT CHARGING AN APPEARANCE FEE!

It may be a promoters dream to have a big named star but it is not fair to the other 200+ drivers and teams if that big name star races a different set of rules as everyone else.

I remember drivers switching nights is the past I just wanted to see if it was avalable to everyone or only a select few.

You would think that sanctioned testing at another track would be scheduled far enough in advance it could be worked out with out a conflict before the night draw is determined
