Due to Mother Nature wreaking Havoc at Texas
Motor Speedway (TMS) this past weekend, with two straight days of Mega W-E-T
stuff! Two-fourths of the current IndyCar drivers brigade saw their intended
flight plans go out the window late Saturday night.
As le 'Hamburgular, aka SeaBass, nee Monseir
Bourdais of KVSH Racing and multi-times IndyCar champion driving for Thy
Cheepster', New Zealand's Scott Dixon both missed their flights out of Dallas,
as Bourdais notes how much of an
endurance race it was getting to Le Mans due to the inclement weather which
apparently flooded the TMS Tunnel NO less!
Le Mans, France native Sebastain Bourdais
will co-drive the No. 68 Ford GT with Scott Dixon as one of the Seester Ganassi
Team USA's No. 69 chauffeurs in the LM GTE Pro category.
Mikhail Aleshin, who sounded like he had the most
dubious task of not only flying commercial in Coach - but also had to change
planes in order to make his way to Circuit de la Sarthe, will co-drive the
Russian SPM Racing LMP2 "Junior" Le Mans Prototype #27 BR01-Nissan
with past Chip Ganassi IndyCar Pilote Nick Minassian and the totally unknown Italian Maurizio Mediani.
Meanwhile Townsend Bell noted midway thru
Sunday's Red-flagged portion of the
delayed IndyCar race that he needed to take off for his flight to Paris,
where'd he'd jump aboard a train the remainder of the way before taking part in
Scrutineering Day with his #62 Scuderia Corsa LM GTE Amateur Ferrari 458GT
Italia co-horts Bill Sweedler and Jeff Seagall. The latter NOT to be Cornfuzed
with Thy late Awntie Harriet's Bombastic FATHEAD Steven Seagull; Hya!
