[cameraman]

If the claims of spare cars are true, we are getting very close to 40 cars with names attached to them.

Bite Racing - #94 and #56 + 1 spare car
Brooks Associates - #8 and # 10
Forsythe Racing - #3, #7, #33 and #37 + 2 spares
Gelles Racing - #14 and #28
Jensen Motorsports - #2
Mathiasen Motorsports - #26
McAtee Motorsports - #9 and #19
Mi-Jack Conquest - #18
NCDL Tech - #25
Newman/Wachs Racing - #34 and #35 + 2 spares
Polestar - #12
PR1 Racing - #23 and #32
Sierra Sierra - #6
Team Australia/Walker - #5 and #15
The Room Store - #49
Transnet Racing - #16
UNICO Racing - #72

That is 31 cars.

This bunch would require 41 cars

Condor Motorsports - Car 1
Dan Cobb Racing - Car 1
Hearn Motorsports - Car 1
Hearn Motorsports - Car 2
Mi-Jack/Conquest – Car 2
MJ Motorsports – Car 1
MJ Motorsports – Car 2

Is there a place where they list the cars with the drivers as well?

As far as backups, isn't it part of the design that they be much more rebuildable than past chassis? and without the number of ovals, the damage should be less intense?

What happened to Unser?

[cameraman]

Kevin Lacroix, Dan DiLeo and Al Unser were all announced at the unveiling but none have put pen to paper yet. People keep talking about waiting for dominos to fall. It would probably make a good soap opera.
