    Update: AP: Obama fired him because he did not think that GM was being fiscally responsible with their corporate racing teams.

    as reported on the Corvette forum by LG Motorsports - I think Lou is a good source of information - apparently more "heads are to roll"

    This AFTER the C6Rs won the ALMS Green Challenge for running their cars on e85 ethanol

    Vettes are the MOST economical and fuel efficient sports cars, even more fuel efficient than a Lotus Elise

    A C6 makes 30 mpg on the highway

    He is a good source but he does have his own axe to grind as well. I'd take a grain of salt with that.

    I've been looking it up and other than that thread on Corvette Forums, I can't find anything to back this story up. I might call BS on this one until proven otherwise. Did anyone that went to Long Beach see him there??

    Sounds like he went out in a blaze of glory, much like Boris' C6R today at long beach.
