I was at the Napa, CA airport this weekend were they had the IRL race in Sonoma. There were a couple of Legacy's as well as a CRJ200 and a CRJ700. I think the 700 was N1RL ...(NIRL) and the 200 was 500**...(forgot the letters). From what I could see, it looked like the 700 was configured with a "shuttle" interior. I am thinking they shuttle all of the Indy ground team (not race teams). The 200 looked like a typical "low-rider" airplane. The 700 looked good.
500PR (Penske Racing)- CRJ 200 - 46 seats - AUTOTHROTTLE and HUD, I have meet the Pilots and had to verify the autothrottles, pretty impressive for a corporate shuttle. They said they can fly from Sonoma, CA to Concord, NC (outside CLT) nonstop with 30 SOB's (plus crew).
