Full Throttle

“Forty-two!” yelled Loonquawl. “Is that all you’ve got to show for seven and a half million years’ work?”

“I checked it very thoroughly,” said Deep Thought,” and that quite definitely is the answer.

I think the problem, to be quite honest with you, is that you’ve never actually known what the question is.”

Meanwhile the “law firm” of Vogon & Vogon destroyed any chance the Space Cadets that run Kentucky Speedway had of getting a second NEXTEL Cup date. As a result they have had to back-peddle and have withdrawn the anti-trust portion of their lawsuit against NASCAR and International Speedway Corp.

To paraphrase Loonquawl, “Is that all you’ve got to show for 2 years of legal briefs, discovery motions and venue change requests, a back-peddle? On the primary reason for the suit in the first place no less.

Golly Gee Wiz, it’s not like this wasn’t very predictable, because it was.

Also anticipated, once a passel of shysters get their teeth sunk into a fat retainer fee they won’t let go. Now their attempting to convince the court on behalf of Kentucky’s Space Cadets that the France family should sell off either ISC or NASCAR. It also asks that ISC divest itself of eight of its 12 tracks that operate a Cup race.

Ah… excuse me, but the antitrust suit is dropped, without that being litigated and the court finding in favor of Kentucky a privately held company can’t be forced to sell anything.

Except tickets and souvenirs at the 12 tracks they own and will continue to own.

The Vogons better start building a hyperspace bypass for the owners of Kentucky Speedway to use. It may be the only way they get the answer they are looking for.

I blame the Golgafrinchans for this entire mess, but I may be wrong.
