=============

NOTES: I don't know who had fastest lap, so when I do find out, I'll add in a point for each team that has him on it.

First DNF: Helio

Mikey Mentions: 35 (including one 5 minute festival in which every single commentator discussed him, and the bolt to Mikey's pits to discuss his fuel strategy while Big C was blessing out Nik and Nik was being examined for injuries).

Commercials/Interruptions: 77, possibly a new record.

TEAM DANGEROUS PRESS RELEASE.

PRESS RELEASE:
JADS RACING TAKES VICTORY AND OVERALL SEVENTH IN DEBUT RACE

Drivers:
Kenny Bräck - "A fabulous result. The last few laps were hard though, as I was laughing so much when the guys told me that Mikey wanted me black-flagged because I was too difficult to pass. A great day for JADS Racing in its first race."
Dario Franchitti - "Alex has been teaching me pit stop tactics. I was trying to emulate his double-stall in Japan, but only managed one. Thank-you Eurosport for joining the race late and not embarrassing me in front of my fans at home."
Alex Zanardi - "I knew that Dario was having trouble with the second stall, so I decided to help the team out with one of my own. Thanks to Chris for relegating Tagliani and getting me up to 11th. In the next race, will you please also do something about the 10 other guys in front of me."

Press officer Ron Dennis - "The synergy developing in the team is shown by the extensive positive ramifications of the strategical options selected. Dario's failure to execute the second half of the double-stall pitlane tactic was due to a systems failure in the user interface. Forunately, Alex displayed great tenacity and his value as a team-player by helping to rectify the situation. We are applying to CART to adopt standing starts as we are sure we have ideal launch control software which can do nothing but assist Kenny on his way to the championship."

MRS. FIELDS PIES TEAM PENSKE BABE PRESS RELEASE FOR IMMEDIATE ATTENTION

Milwaukee, Wisconsin - Mrs. Fields Pies Team Penske Babe is mortified at the behaviour of their Second Pilot in this race, and wishes to let everyone know that he is grounded until the next race. We believe it is all this television business, along with the false impression gained by driving against those Kiddie Cars in Brand X Racing which convinced Mr. Castro Neves that he could pass everybody on the track at will. A session with the video tapes and the production of 1,000 lines in best handwriting, "I will not try to win the race in the first lap," should ameliorate the problem.

Mr. de Ferran has been sent to bed to get a good night's sleep so he will stay awake in the next race.

We have, however, the highest praise for Young Mr. Junquera, who is showing such talent as an oval racer that he is eventually going to impress even the American announcers, if they can get up off their knees in the Michael Andretti camp and unpucker their lips long enough. Well done Bruno, for saving the honour of the team.

We will do better next time.

Pedro "El Guapo" Morales
Press Officer.

"We ate all the pies!"

[marcus]

Hey ..now that Karma racing and team penske babe are equal on points ..are we allowed to have any of your pies ?????

[Liz]

Sorry. We ate them all. (I think Gil ate them all - that could be why he was so slow!)

At least with my miserable placement on the Points Ladder, nobody can accuse me of rigging the standings!

Ignore myh last post, i've just learned how to attach images to my posts

[Liz]

Who is that? And why isn't he in the F1 forum? (Or at my house? )

AMENDMENT TO POINTS TABLE

Due to Chris Kniefl's continued meddling, Zanardi and Tags have been flipped - that is, Tags is now 12th and Zanardi 11th. Points will be adjusted accordingly.

[MichaelC]

Press Officer William Clinton

Team Skidmarks are pleased to have assumed their rightful place at the top of the standings, and moved up to 8th overall.

Despipte the fact that we're still bloody miles behind the leaders, I have no doubt that we can catch and overhaul them before the season is out. And once again, we apologise for being ahead of the commissioner's team

We now look forward to ensuring that lead driver Kenny can complete his hat-trick at the next race.

TEAM CRUNCH PRESS RELEASE

In the middle of nowhere - Team Crunch had an absolutely disasterous Milwuakee race, as both Helio-Castro Neves and Paul Tracy crashed out on the first corner, one after the other.

Team manager Craig Mcbolluck was quoted as saying "We did not have any luck in this race. On the start, Kenny Brack was blocking Helio by remaining on the track. Kenny should be disqualified and face further sanctions in accordance with Carts new set of rules. We will hope for better luck next time in......umh...oh..Detroit..yes that's it. Interview over <runs away>."
