My guesses:

Forsythe:Tracy, Carpentier, Lavin (Corona)

N/H:Junqueira, Bourdais

Rahal:Jourdain, Wilson (what better way for Ford to keep
Justin in the family?)

Fernandez:Fernandez, Diaz (his Mex. City '03 sponsors,
assoc. roles from Tecate, QSMex)

Rocketsports:Tagliani, Hunter-Reay

PK:Vasser, Gonzalez (Patrick Racing has basically become 2nd PK car;looks like Emmo outa luck)

Herdez: Dominguez, Salo

RuSport:Allmendinger

Conquest:Haberfeld, Philippe

Coyne:Enge, 2nd car (too many possible names!)

Walker:Valiante (OWRS money), maybe 2nd car if last minute
things come together like they did a year ago

Mo Nunn:dunno who would drive, but I still believe that Hollywood desire to be with Mo Nunn Racing, but
pulled back IRL sponsorship because they
just aren't fulfilling marketing objectives in
IRL; they were a happy sponsor for long time in
CART, and it would make sense if they would want
to be back there. I know this is a little bit of
crazy idea, but I still wouldn't rule it out.

So basically I think were looking at 21-23 well-funded cars, with maybe 1 or 2 exceptions, which, all things considered, really isn't all that bad.

Forget Mo Nunn this year - he hardly has enough $$$ for his single entry in IRL... Tomas Enge has signed with Subaru in WRC... Alex Yoong signed with ESPN... Luis Diaz is in GARRA... Rodolfo Lavin is about to be in NASCAB subseries - most likely pick-ups... and Emmo's team will materialize - maybe even two cars ?!... anyhow, it's a real mess out there since the "sale" dragged on and everybody is scrambling for sponsors... I'm on a verge of giving up listening to all the rumors swirling... by March 8 we should get our answers - at least most of them...
