LEAD: I was on TV here yesterday, talking about--of all things--yacht racing. "Are you an expert on yacht racing?" an expert on me asked. The answer is "kind of."
Mostly because I found myself in the middle of coverage of how a lawsuit filed in the U.S. by the San Francisco yacht club challenging for the America's Cup more or less eliminated the UAE as a venue for the race next year. Kind of a bummer. Although I haven't had a ton of luck sailing boats myself, I was excited about seeing someone else do it. So much for that. But at least I got some air time.
DOWNPAGE: We have wheels. Four of them, specifically. Our car looks like this:
Except it's black and doesn't unfold.
BRIEF w/pix: The Ares I-X test launch went flawlessly. Check it out:
Big rocket did, in fact, go whoosh.
So that's the news. This weekend, we are headed to Yas Island to watch more vehicles: Specifically the built-for-blinding-speed Formula One cars. After all these months of run-up, I'm curious to see if these wheeled cheetahs are any fun to see up close.
