October 6th, 2011- Scott Tucker and Level 5 Motorsports took center stage Sunday evening, as he and co-driver Christophe Bouchut were crowned 2011 LMP2 champions in American Le Mans Series presented by Tequila Patrn. Fresh off a thrilling victory in the 14th annual Petit Le Mans powered by Mazda, Tucker, Bouchut and the entire David Stone-led organization celebrated a successful end to the ALMS season at the series’ “Night of Champions” celebration at Chteau lan.

It was no doubt a year of ups and downs for Level 5 as the reigning ALMS LMP Challenge champions made the bold move to the LMP2 category for 2011. Having kicked off the season with a debut class victory in the 59th Mobil 1 Twelve Hours of Sebring with Tucker and co-drivers Luis Diaz and IndyCar star Ryan Hunter-Reay, the team triumphed on the streets of Long Beach, with Tucker and Bouchut taking top honors this time

“Without the entire Level 5 team doing what they do, none of it would have been possible.”

Those two class victories helped propel Level 5 into its global tour of Intercontinental Le Mans Cup races in Europe, highlighted by podiums at the famed 24 Hours of Le Mans and Six Hours of Imola before returning Stateside to solidify its title in the American Le Mans Series.

Tucker, Bouchut and Diaz earned hard-fought top-five overall finishes in the Time Warner Cable Road Race Showcase at Road America in August and a debut win with its new HPD ARX-01g in the ModSpace American Le Mans Monterey presented by Patrn at Laguna Seca.

Once the competition returned in last weekend’s Petit Le Mans, which also served as the penultimate round of the Intercontinental Le Mans Cup, Level 5 showed to have the upper hand again, as Tucker, Bouchut and Joao Barbosa scored another LMP2 win while up against some of Europe’s top prototype entrants.

The 2011 season has no doubt been one to remember for Tucker, who earned back-to-back ALMS titles as well as picking up his third consecutive SCCA National Championship at Road America. Tucker, the now five-time national driving champion, collected his 64th career victory in Saturday’s 1,000-mile marathon at Road Atlanta.

“It’s a true honor to have earned my second American Le Mans Series championship,” Tucker said. “Christophe and I have been driving together for three years and I’ve learned so much form him. So to share it with him is something special. Without the entire Level 5 team doing what they do, none of it would have been possible. For me personally, it’s such a honor and privilege to be able to compete in the ALMS with so many great drivers and teams.”

For Bouchut, the championship came extra special as the veteran Frenchman celebrates his 30th year in motorsports. With over 100 career victories and 14 titles in his storied career, including being one of the few three-time FIA GT champions, Bouchut is honored to have added his first American title to his already impressive list of accolades.

“I’ve worked with Level 5 Motorsports for the last three years and it’s been a very good experience,” Bouchut said. “They’ve made all of the right choices at the right times. Of course there were not many cars in the ALMS LMP2 class this year, but our car was very competitive each time. Even at times when we were alone, I was still pushing very hard to do the best. That was the kind of show we wanted to give to everyone here. I’m really honored to share this title with Scott in my 30th year of racing.”

Combining for a perfect record of five wins out of five starts, Level 5 also notched up the ALMS LMP2 teams’ championship, as well as helping former partner Lola clinch the LMP2 chassis manufacturers’ title. Honda Performance Development, which partnered with Level 5 for the entire season, took home the class engine manufacturers’ championship, while technical partner Michelin collected the tire manufacturers’ title as well.

With the teams’ championship and dominant win in the Petit Le Mans, Level 5 heads into next year’s 24 Hours of Le Mans with two automatic invitations for the around-the-clock French endurance classic, should they elect to return.

“It’s been a year of unusual dynamics to say the least,” said team manager David Stone. “We’ve built no less than five cars this year, most of which we finished at the race track at either Sebring or Road Atlanta. But thanks to the hard work and dedication of the entire Level 5 crew, we’re able to come away with the kind of results we were looking for. Everyone has worked tirelessly over the entire year in both America and Europe and we’ll be heading into Zhuhai next month looking to cap off the year with another win.”

While the 2011 American Le Mans Series may have come to a close, there are still two more races on Level 5′s global tour this year. First up is the Ferrari World Finals in Mugello, Italy on Nov. 4-6, where Tucker will return to the home soil of the famed Italian marque with his Microsoft Office 2010-sponsored Ferrari 430 Challenge car to run for a World Championship. Tucker has raced at Mugello before with 3 wins.

One week later, Tucker, Bouchut and Barbosa and the entire Level 5 crew will be in China for the Six Hours of Zhuhai, the seventh and final round of the Intercontinental Le Mans Cup The endurance race in the Guangdong province of China is scheduled for Nov. 11-13, with radiolemans.com providing live audio commentary over the weekend.

She takes her seat in the examination hall, stares at the question paper for five minutes, and then in a fit of inspiration takes her purse out, removes a coin and starts tossing the coin and marking the answer sheet: true for heads and false for tails. Within thirty minutes she is all done, whereas the rest of the class is still working furiously. During the last few minutes, she is seen desperately throwing the coin, swearing and sweating. The moderator, alarmed, approaches her and asks what is happening. “I finished the exam in a half hour,” she replies. “Now I’m rechecking my answers.”

She looks at it and says to the cop, “All I have is this picture of myself.” The cop says, “Let me see it, then.” So the blonde motorist gives the mirror to the blonde cop, who looks at it, and replies, “Well, if I had known you were a police officer, I wouldn’t have even pulled you over. You can go now.”

Alexis Arguello, one of the greatest boxers to ever compete, was found dead in his Managua, Nicaragua home in early July of an apparent suicide. He was 57 years old. Arguello was the mayor of Nicaragua’s capital city at the time of his death.

Known for his class outside the ring as much for his tenacity inside the ring, hes best known to casual fight fans for his epic war in’82 with Aaron The Hawk Pryor when he moved up in weight after dominating at lighter weight classes. Though Arguello would lose via–th round knockout (amid some controversy due to an apparent mystery drink offered to Pryor by his trainer Panama Lewis) it was a thrilling toe to toe battle that even the most knowledgeable boxing experts remember fondly to this day. Ring Magazine not only named it Fight of the Year, but later would dub it Fight of the Decade. Promoter Bob Arum offered these thoughts on Pryor/Arguello:

“It was a brutal, brutal fight. That was something I will never, ever forget as long as I live. That was one of the most memorable fights I ever did.”

Arguello is arguably the best lightweight and junior lightweight in the history of the sport. Arguello never lost a fight at-0 pounds and would end his career with an astounding 82-8 record with 65 knockouts and championships in three different weight classes. At the time, he was only the sixth man in boxing history to hold title belts at three different weights.

Ironically, Arguellos career didn’t get off to a good start and he lost his debut in’68 via first round TKO. He won his next three fights, before losing again via unanimous decision to another lower tier foe in his native country. After that, he seldom lost again and would go on to be respected as one of the best pound for pound fighters of his day. He was at his best against his toughest adversaries including Ray Mancini, Bobby Chacon and Ruben Olivares. Bob Arum remembered him not only as a great fighter, but as a great man:

“Not only was he one of the greatest fighters I’ve ever seen, he was the most intelligent fighter. He was a ring tactician. Every move was thought out. And he was a wonderful, wonderful person.”

The articulate, intelligent Arguello was also a quote machine on the fight game and how champions should conduct themselves. Here, he speaks of his attitude toward his opponents:

“Of course after the fight you want to make sure that you’re okay and so is the other guy, its a brotherhood in there, so you want to make sure everyone is okay after the war is over.”

Arguello didn’t fight for his first title until he’d had 58 fights, and would frequently admonish boxers who didn’t show the same respect for the sport or their status as champion:

“When you won that title you should know now that you are representing a whole country or nation with your actions and you are now in a glass house or under a microscope and you better be ready to make your people proud.”

Arguello loved boxing and fought to protect it from those who would undermine its greatness:

“I respect boxing because it has given me so much and thats why I will never allow anyone to mistreat the sport of boxing if I can help it.”

While the modest, dignified Arguello would never say it himself, that was for from a one sided debt–he also gave immeasurably to the sport of boxing with his grace, intelligence, talent and toughness.

It is only natural for people to talk about other people and there is a special glee in talking about people we don’t know. In the past, talk centered on royalty and aristocracy. For those with less, it was an escape to talk about the problems and scandals of those with more. This has evolved, today, into an endless celebrity gossip cycle. Whether things are fabricated or true, we take glee in the revolving love lives and drama of celebrities in the public eye.

Celebrities are whatever we want them to be and they are the best fodder for wasting time at work. Knowing a lot about our entertainers is a new thing however since in the early and mid twentieth century personas were cultivated and maintained by studios who had resources that could stop damaging stories from going out in the general population.

We are only now learning the debaucherous stories about the lives of actors in the past due to memoirs and old diaries. The reason that bombshell Marilyn Monroe is still so venerated is related the stories that swirled around her in both her life and death. The totality of her life has never been completely known and mystery is like catnip to human curiosity.

Today, celebrity gossip is packaged in a different way. Celebrities work with gossip rags and paparazzi to create an image that they want to give to the public. Getting photographed every day with their children at the park simply does not happen unless photographers are called and told where to appear.

This is because it is simple to avoid any intense scrutiny when it comes to getting photographed. Doing this means avoiding hot spots where it is always known that paparazzi congregate. Don’t want to get photographed; don’t eat at overly famous eateries. This doesn’t mean that celebrities are always behind their own snaps, but overall a majority of them are.

Finding good celebrity gossip means being a little more discerning when it comes to the magazines or websites that you frequent. Some rags are nothing but a series of fanciful stories and lies strung together by insider sources that simply do not exist.

There are also magazines and websites that spend their time effusively praising actors so that when their next big release comes, they’re more apt to grant them interviews. With the thousands of websites online, the best bet is a good source.

Good information simply comes from good sources. These good sources most likely work within the entertainment industry and have interactions with all manner of actors, actresses and the like and do not have to disclose their identities. The question, however, becomes do you want true gossip?

That’s the point of gossip, it is fun! This is a way for people to create their own stories using well known players. It doesn’t matter what the truth of someone’s personality is – it only matters what we think of those people. This is how love triangles that have lasted past the point of being feasible continue to make the covers of magazines for almost a decade. When it comes to celebrity gossip it’s good to take everything with a grain of salt and without an ounce of seriousness.
