www.tux500.com - An Indy car team with Linux splashed all over it - its a goer !!

From :
http://blog.lobby4linux.com/archives/138-Indy,-We-Have-A-Driver.-Chastain-Mot...< Chastain, a legend in the Indianapolis Racing Realm and the owner of Chastain Motorsports has announced his team's entrance in this year's Indy 500. And if we've got anything to do with it...as long as I have one struggling breathe left inside of me, that monster of a race car will have Linux splashed all over it when the flag drops. It will be the first time in history that Linux has been an active participant of the now-famous cry.

"Gentlemen, Start your engines"!"

There are 36 days (??) left till the Tux racer gets its first race. This would be awesome timing for Dell to announce general availability of it's Linux offerings, and BUY some prominent naming rights on the vehicle before everyone else jumps in.

Its a pretty amazing achievement that this insane race car idea has got off the ground :)
