Update For the Fans: Walker Racing

Given the unfortunate developments with our Team Australia program, our focus in the short term is the Atlantic Series. We have every reason to believe that this year's Mazda Atlantic Series will be as competitive as ever. Our team line-up from drivers to team is the strongest we have had as we begin our third year in the series.

Not that this is good news by any means, but being forced to shut down our efforts to join the merged IndyCar Series, in the short term has allowed us time to really look at the future and where it is for us to direct our efforts over the next five years. In addition to the Atlantic program, we are looking at sub-contracting to other race teams/series for work to keep our core loyal employees until I can build another program for 2009.

IndyCar clearly is the most logical as a primary program, given the expected pending future growth. ALMS has also experienced some changes that are very attractive if a team can manage to align itself with a car manufacturer. As for A1GP, with the changes being talked about and the schedule aspect of the series, it is an attractive program to us. So, as you can see, there are plenty of exciting racing programs. However, as is in any business, developing the financial resources and the investment is the hardest part, but then if it was easy, then everybody would be doing it…..Right?

Lastly, I have been asked by many of you to comment on Mr. Gore's press statement. I will simply say this, Craig and I know what really happened, and if it's necessary for me to produce existing documents that will speak the clear truth, then I am more than happy to produce them. Going legal is never the best option in my mind, as often nobody wins, and it's an unfortunate end to a partnership that was one of the brighter and more successful programs of the Champ Car World Series over the last three years. However, it's better to have the truth come out with legal process than to be reduced to trash talking and defamatory statements in the media. I will just let the facts and written documents speak for me.
