Paul Position
The Houston weekend proved rather eventful for Paul Tracy - from his major 5-year deal with Forsythe to the podium finish on the bumpy road track...
So that weird lull after Long Beach is over and we've started a sequence of three races in four weekends - Houston, Monterrey, Milwaukee. After what happened in the season-opener, it was important - crucial, really, with the way Champ Car points system works - to get a good score on the board last weekend, and that's what we did. Houston mission accomplished.
For me, though, the good news started before we even hit the track. You'll remember in my last column I mentioned I was negotiating with Jerry Forsythe for an extension to my contract, but last Thursday in Houston we were able to announce that I have signed with Jerry until the end of 2011, which I think surprised a lot of people in the media. Well, I can tell you, the five-year offer caught me on the bounce too.
