New preferred electronics supplier?

[nrc]

The good news is that if Pioneer decides not to step up and support CART this year, we'll have a new preferred electronics supplier. :)

Interesting that Pioneer is sponsoring Rahal in the IRL, but Akai is sponsoring them in CART. Is there a connection there that I'm unaware of? Is this perhaps one of thost ESP sponsorships netted by CART?

That deal was in place during the 2002 season. Here's the announcement: http://www.cart.com/News/Article.asp?ID=3725

Hopefully it will carry through to 2003, but who knows!
