iSprout miss 'Easy' headline opportunity
by Mathias Olaf Uncertain
6th May 2010
Not a clue.
The
EasyCar
test scheduled to take place at Kentucky Speedway yesterday had to be cancelled due to moisture seeping through the track surface.
"It's a difficult decision to cancel the test," said an EasyCar bigwig.
"The track surface is damaged and water is seeping through as a result of recent heavy rain. You could say the surface is basically fried.
"It is disappointing, but you have to think safety first," he added. "The track is wet in a lot of places and you can't run the normal line, so you're not going to learn much, but even if you could, most drivers would be too chicken."
iSprout
ran this item under the banner: "Kentucky EasyCar test cancelled", but
dotdotdotcomma
wonder if there might be a more fitting headline. Why not email your suggestions to
