So IRL and CART are kissing and making up - thoughts?

agree, too little too late - and it's all Tony George's fault IMO. IIRC he wanted to create an "american" series because the cars were all (or nearly all) foreign made/designed. That's why the Aurora v8 engine was used IIRC. Now we have a spec series with....Honda engines.
I used to enjoy going to the CART races, especially in Portland. Think I went five years straight. Been to Indy twice too. But until Champ and IRL truly make up, it will be a long time before they get their fan base back. And I think they will have a hard time getting the up-and-coming drivers to look forward to a top-tier open-wheel car when they can go to NASCAR and get big paychecks for finishing 18th or worse. |
