Default SATO!!!! flyin' @ Sebring
http://www.racer.com/sato-surprises-...rticle/281030/


The biggest surprise came from A.J. Foyt Racing's Takuma Sato, who unseated Target Ganassi's Scott Dixon as the fastest man in Sebring on Tuesday. Dixon, the 2-time series champion, posted a 52.017-second lap before lunch to lead the 13 cars in attendance, and held onto the top stop until late in the day.

I thought Sato's career was through after Karate Kid 2???

the surprising part is it was with AJ Foyt Racing, which has achieved nothing for almost a decade.

Many have doubted Sato before but his IMPACT cannot be measured by a stop watch alone.

As President of the US Takuma Sato fan club, I approve this thread.

Remember SATO's motto

To finish second, first you must finish.
