What’s up with Rocketsports? The rumor mill is saying that Rocketsports has sold their transporters so we wonder what is going on with the team. Communication with the team has so far gone unanswered. Are they buying new transporters or are they selling their assets? Why is Montagny testing with PKV instead of Rocketsports? Hmm.....

I wonder if this is the Old Newspaper trick, where you are suspicious of something happening, you call for a clarification, get no answer, so you print the suspicion hoping to draw out the principles to answer, before the rumor grows out of control !

Hmmmm !

I posited this before the next to the last race of the ChampCar season.

'I wouldn't be surprised if Finlay Motorsports buys Rockersports.'

Maybe... maybe not.

Montagny: let's see, offer to test Rocketsports 6 year old flexi-flyer or go for a run with PKV... No contest.

AR1 is slightly more credible than zer0

Someone posted over at gomerville that the transporter being sold is the Trans Am transporter.

Yep, all Champ Car, all the time. My current favorite is the 14 page thread about the new Atlantic cars. :rofl:

I would think Finlay's expansion to 2 cars in GA (and Rob himself driving full time) would put the kibosh on that.

Not that he couldn't afford it.

You're probably right, but my son is pretty good buddies with Michael McDowell (fellow race instructors for some time, Michael hit the lottery with Finlay, Pete hasn’t as yet.) and he said that he wouldn't be surprised if Finlay would buy Rocketsports last year, and that may have come from Michael, I really don't know.

However, I do think that they are enthralled with ChampCar in addition to the GA effort, and as you said, it is not that they could not afford it.

To respond to the first "rumor" from AR1

Paul Gentilozzi has responded over at CCF that he Sold his Ultra Comp transporters in order to buy Featherlites which is a "Series Sponsor" , a promise he made when "Featherlite" came onboard ... There is NO impending Sale or Liquidation of Rocketsports ...

So endeth that Rumor !
