I'm surprised there hasn't been a lot of discussions yet, I meant, that's one heck of news for me personally, and I'm sure it's good for the Canadian fans too, they will likely have 2 events at least next season, but only one Canadian out there at the moment.

Tracy is dangerous and is famous for crashing; chances are pretty good that even if he does get in a couple of races; he'll take himself out and probably others too. He's an expense guy to have on your team; lot's of wrecked cars and equipment.

Yuo guys are all nuts. Tracy brings class and excitement to what otherwise is a bunch of inexperienced wannabees.

you "i am indy" dorks have no respect for champ car drivers...what has prince Marco done this year?...or, you want to talk about someone that really sucks look at AJ IV...Paul Tracy is aggressive but who wants to watch some pussy race an indy car...If he gets a ride you can bet it will be fun to watch...If you haters cant take some competition Go watch the hillbilly races with Dario and Sam (because if you dont like competition you will LOVE nascar).

the reason he doesnt have a job is because his former champ car team did not make the jump to the crappy series known as irl...open wheel cars were not ment to race on ovals, and obviously the idiots in the irl (not the champ car drivers) cant even drive left and right under caution without wrecking, not to mention those cars have to be some of the ugliest looking things that have ever raced on a track

There are really open wheel fans who think Paul should not get a IRL ride? Alot of fans say he is dagerous and a "has been", and that he should hang it up. But dose anyone really think that he would not do a better job than drivers like: Marty Roth, Joka Duno, EJ Viso, Foyt IV, and a list of drivers that show up to races now and then. Like him or hate him. PT brings attention to the sport, via driving or drama. Ether way he he is a exciting driver that will help make US open wheel racing more popular and bring dollars to the sport to help build a better product.
May the IVth be with you

I'm primarily an IRL fan but PT would just be another reason to watch the races. I do think that at this late date in the season he is demanding a little too much since he hasn't had a ride offer better than this one.

Granted, Vision isn't a top tier organization (even though his car would technically be run by Walker) but is he really in a position to be choosy? Let's see how he does first before he starts making demands. A contract with a modest base salary and incentives is probably the way he should go.
