I remember when IRL was first formed...and how confident CART would be they would crush them....Hahaha...where is CART now? Tony George was right that the sponsors would want to be at Indy....not Mexico City or Japan.

I don't particularly care about the CART flap. I care about the shortened month and the holding the race on Sunday. It still is a big money-maker, but not the way it used to be.

Tony George can do what he wants...its a privately owned track and race. But I do wish they would change the dates.

they ought to get on the same page - both of them, get behind the new FIA 2.4L V8 format for Formula One - this way the entire world has one format for the engine.

To a certain extent, I think CART did itself in, with sudden bizzare mid-season rule and regulation changes that favored one manufacturer over another. It's hard to keep teams when when they're being jerked around.
