Paul Position
The opening round of the Champ Car 2006 season proved disappointing for Paul Tracy, but the 2003 Champ Car has very good reasons to be optimistic about the future ahead...
So I had hoped to be able to get back to you on a positive note after Long Beach, but... well, shit happens. In fact we had more than our fair share of it over the weekend, as you probably all saw.
Honestly, we felt that we were as quick as anyone out there at Long Beach. Well, okay, probably not quick enough to beat Sebastien Bourdais to pole, but second to fourth was so tight - Justin Wilson, Bruno Junqueira and AJ Allmendinger were covered by four hundredths - I think that without the crash we had in qualifying, we would have been on the front row, definitely, instead of sixth.
