    H8R Bansgivings in process


    Would you want Black Water doing security for your team? Bet there's no espionage, and only occasionally does a Honda engineer get shot walking by the Yamaha Garage.

    Not in this situation. The Marlboro brand that sponsors Ducati is Philip Morris International, which is a completely separate company from Altria (Philip Morris USA).

    As of 2008, correct. Another tidbit, the CEO of Fiat is on PMI's board of directors.

    "Satellite Yamaha Team Tech3 is reporting that their 2009 season will cost $8 million USD. This is a team who’s manager drives an economy car, and mechanics, when they’re not sleeping in the back of the team tractor trailer, double up on hotel beds during race weekends. At this bargain basement price for GP racing, you are nearly on par with what it costs to win in World Superbike."

    Dave K DaveK über alles!

    Not as simple as just Ducados, Winston, Corona or Boones Farm writing a check. They are limited by law and, in case of beer, a gentlemen's agreement.

    Nope, never gonna happen.
