Bring Out the Vultures

While it rained enough to cancel qualifications in Motegi this week - meaning the starting grid will be based on current standing in series points - there was still time for some drivers to test their vehicles. Indeed, there was time for some to even wreck their vehicles.

While preparing for his first race as the replacemnt for the late Paul Dana in the No. 17, Jeff Simmons touched the wall in both turn 4 and the entry to pit lane. Simmons was examined and released from the local medical facilities, but one can't help but wonder which Paul Dana Vulture wants to start berating Simmons for not being ready to drive yet.
