dumn as that may sound, I think that was the whole point, to showcase american talent with an american based team.

Well, I thought that was the point too -- but their first pick doesn't seem to follow that thought process.

I was reading something on the USGPE site saying that they will probably start out with foreign drivers to start out with and work it back to their original plan of showcasing American talent.

Either way, lets hope this signing was a good one. I'm crossing my fingers on this not being Spyker 2.0

Hell, if they are that hard up for drivers I should apply. I took first in my last two kart seasons and could probably hold my own after some solid seat time...
