That's what being reported by those who attended the NAG banquet last night. Apparently Tiger made the announcement. That could make things exciting...

He should clone the race engine he had last year. It performed pretty good considering the thrashing it got.

Tiger has been known to say a lot of things that are just talk so i'll wait and see,.

Let's say Hoot is in. Where's the money coming from? Who will be on "the crew"? Finally, who's prepping/building the engine or engines?

The LAST NASA-type that got the ride in Strega got fired pretty quickly because he refused to provide his own parachute.

And as for Nixon getting involved, no. Mike is out of the racing game now. Period.

Pretty sure there was a lot more involved in that decision than just the parachute deal.

Of course there was...the same issues that follow said pilot around wherever he goes.

I'm also a "nobody" who don't know nuttin... Who might have been this cow behind you?? Can be a PM for that matter but I have a pretty good idea...

We all can dislike all we dislike, but not good to give poges publicity by mentioning them in posts!
