So, if someone gets to drive an f1 car, has a boat load of money, cute wife and hangs out with Cameron Diaz, it makes him a d-bag?
I think I want to be a d-bag.

Let's see... guy with a bazillion $'s drives a racecar of the series that I've been hired to promote. What should I say about him...
"At least the d-bag didn't crash the car".
Maybe something else.

I was attempting some humor......i find TC To be a hillarious topic That's what I love about this site, you guys will argue about anything.
Ok I retract it all, I'm sure he is a really cool, normal guy who you would love to hang out with at a PCA club race, and while we are all hanging out with him I am sure he will give us all some driving pointers.
Apologies to all those TC fans I upset. Sorry Tom I should of never jumped to conclusions given all your normal behavior over the years.
Oh by the way did you know Charlie Sheen is driving in ALMS next year?

I think hanging out around the Hollywood types makes you become weird. I mean look at all the seemingly normal folks that have gone off over time .
But anyway I am glad he can do it. Of course he knew Paul Newman and his racing heritage. But I dont think that TC is Paul, if TC is thinking of becoming the newer Paul Newman.

No matter how good Tom Cruise is, I don't see him being competitive with the "Young Lions" in ALMS or any other series. I know Cruise likes to give off the persona of youth, but the dude is close to an AARP card. Even with the best equipment, I don't see him competing with the very best in the sport. Maybe 20 years ago, but time passes everyone by. The best acting roles have already started passing him by let alone racing. No more great roles like "Rainman" and "Minority Report."

TC is the modern day "Rock Hudson". He did race with Paul Newman at Summit Point back in the 80's with comments like, "He has talent", probably more Hollywood BS. Maybe everything about him has been constructed by Hollywood. I question if he was behind the wheel on Top Gear last yr as well. It's all fiction, but makes for good TV If I recall correctly, he divorced his first 2 wife's because they were unable to have children, both gave birth subsequently and probably without the help of a turkey baster!!

They still have that great photo of him stepping outside of his trailer (and one of P Newman) hanging on the wall inside Chez Summit Point. The scientology "thing" is a bit out-there for me, but at least it seems like he's into cars a bit. Plus...Top Gun is a great movie any way you slice it...
