Alright, I might had forgotten to get questions from Twitter, as I had originally planned to head over before the weekend, but then realized there was a race on Friday night, which changed my plans. So I bring you rumors only, no responses, sorry, I'll make up for it.
Anyways, I went by last night and here is what the good man had to tell you and me.
-He says LDR will be a two car team in 2010, no news on driver. He still expects Takuma Sato at LDR for Homestead.
-He says asides from the FAZZT Racing team with driver Alex Tagliani, you can expect one more new (or old) team for 2010, one that no one is talking about.
-Sponsorship packages are hurting for 2010. Teams are hoping that the Homestead numbers turn out to be very good being the championship deciding race. They figure that will finish the season off on a good note, and help sell sponsors on Versus.
-Vision will answer the call in 2010, but one other team won't.
-He says Brazil is 50/50 at the moment.
-A1GP is counting on Brazil happening because they want to be a support race, and have already held discussions with the IRL. They have scheduled their race in Brazil for the same weekend.
-VW may use the IRL as a way to introduce the high end Phaethon back to the USA. They are planning to relaunch the previously failed model to the US in 2011 or 2012.
-Milka is back full time for 2010.
Lots of stuff to go through here, what are your thoughts.

Good stuff, as always, from the bartender. Here are my thoughts...
-My picks for the 2nd LDR drive would be Power, Servià , Hunter-Reay(would be great in the Marines/Air Force car) or Sato(if has money)
-The new/old team for 2010 would be great if it was Rahel/Letterman with Servià . Also could see Sam Schmidt with Ana Beatriz.
= The teams leaving has to be either 3G or Conquest.
