   Sharp sued Rahal first, citing that Rahal was avoiding testing, dramatically reducing staff (as in firing everyone) and using Sharp’s funding to repair a different RLR car. Rahal’s lawsuit is a counter to Sharp’s filing last week since Sharp is looking to take his money elsewhere where it will be - as stated in his contract - spent on trying to win.

   It should also be noted Rahal’s OTHER driver (Jeff Simmons) has a wrongful termination type lawsuit after being fired midway through last season, since he was under contract to collect race earnings for the entirety of the year.

   So in answer to your question it appears it’s Bobby who doesn’t think the contracts are worth the recycled rainforest product they are printed on.

   Thanks for the additional info, I’d missed the previous lawsuits.

   Not that it changes my basic premise, the default in America is always file the lawsuit papers, always.

   I’m not going to disagree on the overabundance of litigation, but if Bobby is pocketing the money instead of putting it into the cars then the alternative would be to have Patron send some thugs from their vast tequila empire over the the Rahal residence to re-enact the shower scene from “Scarface”.

   Not that I’m trying to give anyone suggestions, mind you.

   But Marc… Rahal/Letterman is among the elite of the elite.  Don’t you remember Mike Daly saying so a few months ago?  If he says so it must be so.

   And you did miss the memo about written contracts.  The technical definition is now “pimple on a warthog’s butt.”  More politically correct.
