| IRL: Stargate, um, star enters EasyCar |

Sci-Fi aficionados and other assorted geeks and nerds are looking forward to the 2012 EasyCar season as excitedly as it is possible to be following the news that Stargate SG1 star Michael Shanks appears to have entered the series as a team owner.
Shanks, the Canadian actor famous for looking almost, but not quite, entirely unlike original Stargate actor James Spader, played archaeologist Daniel Jackson in the long-running sci-fi adventure series.
Michael Shanks Racing has been running sports prototypes in Grand Am for a number of years, but, presumably, exposure to a lethal dose of radiation while attempting to fix a naqadriah reactor has led Shanks to ascend to a higher plane of existence, in which he now seems able to run an EasyCars team.
Probably based at Cheyenne Mountain, Colorado, the team may be sponsored by the Chevron Corporation (each car sporting up to nine chevrons), and the move has fuelled rumours of makeovers for existing/former US motorsports series as Formula Stargate Atlantic and Formula Stargate Infiniti Pro.
That's enough crap Stargate references that no-one's going to get anyway.
