What a douchebag. It's not like he isn't heir to a $400,000,000 fortune or anything...

Been along time since we've had a good size law breaking in sports car racing I can remember. What Field did is nothing in comparison to what John Paul Sr. & Jr. were up too back in the glory years of IMSA. How about a couple acres of pot growing underground just to start...............

Let's not forget the Whittington brothers or Randy Lanier.

Are you sure you're not confusing Jon Field / Intersport Racing with Ted Field / Interscope Racing and Interscope Records?

Jon Field's family started the Banana Joe's chain of restaurants/night clubs in the US. Not related to Hollywood Ted Field or the MF family.

Oops, I think I am. Intersport, Interscope, Field, Field. All sounds the same!

Nevertheless, Jon is also part of the Lucky Sperm Club.

Dood,

Get real. If you get to play with a Porsche on a race track you too are a member of "the lucky sperm club".

Be happy for what you got, instead of looking at what others got and you dont. Its all relative!

Dood....read much?

You missed my point by 1,000 yards, Jimmy.

My point (which I thought was obvious) was that these guys are heirs to large fortunes. Why on earth would they ever need to stoop to embezzling? Especially of a lousy million or two?

I don't believe I ever expressed envy towards them....only incredible sadness towards Jon Field.

Ooops, guess I missed it

I do agree with your premise. When is enough, enough? I guess never for Mr. Field! Like faster lap times, righ?
