    Good to see Conquest back on the grid FT
    Agreed. Especially because it's a team not many were counting on being on the grid FT

    We're in quadruple digits and closing in on the Helio trial thread in terms of post count. To say that this offseason has been silly is an understatement. Crazy is more like it.
    Some fans claim one series or another runs "real race cars." What's everybody else running, fake race cars? :confused:

    Ya know, I know there are a lot of Naysayers, but I'm VERY excited about this year... I really feel like there is a lot of positive things going on with ICS right now... decent sized grid so far and still time for some teams to make additions.

    Scheckter, Tracy, Rahal and Carpenter and full time rides, and Hornish to return would make this the best ever! Still pretty exciting all the same!

    18 full time, maybe two or three to come. And Izod must be thrilled.

    That seems to be their plan long-term... I don't think they moved into Fernandez's old shop just to run Indy Lights.

    There's still some shot that you might get to see Tomas and Graham in FT rides in '10.

    I count 18 now with 6-7 more probable. Will probably see around 24 FT, yes I'm sure they are thrilled. Could see 25-27 at some races with all the Part Timers. To be really successful Rahal has to be FT and Tracy and Scheckter need to be involved in more races than just Indy.

    Plus, it's HUGE that RHR run FT. His car is sponsored by the title sponsor (aka a VERRRRY key constituency for IICS).

    I agree, I forgot him. Is there any chance AFS will sponsor him for the California races similar to how they sponsored the team last year? I really think Andretti and the series find a way to make sure he is in every race.

    I'm hearing that AFS may be involved with Hildebrand for those races. I also see Rahal being in every race because of his prominent role in the Izod ad campaign.

    Prolly the guy who set up the Panama commercial thinks so. The Boy Scouts are getting a fair shake, too.

    But that's just me, I see everything backwards. All hail Mario Romancini in the Conquest entry as the new star and car.

    Sato appears to have an entire sleeve full of Japanese sponsors in this photo from today.
