Rapisardas back for Indy

[Luke Nieuwhof]

Good to see the Rapisardas will be back for the US Nationals. Wayne Newby will be doing the driving, he's the reigning Australian champion right now.
They've had both of their Australian cars hustling into the high 3.7s recently, so it will be interesting to see how far they can get themselves into the mix at Indy.

Cool yes but it would be nice to see Larry driving again.

No he isn't.

Didn't NHRA pull his license indefinitely??? or has that changed and I missed it?

He has had his competition ban lifted since July of 2018

Think he is middle of a lawsuit with them and waiting for an aplogy

His competition ban was lifted before the lawsuit. The lawsuit is about the two-seater.

I read somewhere he is very unhappy with the fact it was not made as public when they lifted it and potential driving gigs passed him by because even they thought he was unavailable.

To be honest i hope he wins and gets some sort of backpay he may have lost.

Back to the original subject, awesome to see Team Rapisarda stateside again. Wouldn't be surprised if they stick around and do a few more rounds before the Aussie season re-commences in November.
