TG Increases Bid
I am a die hard CART fan. I am passionate about the CART/IRL split. I hate what Tony George has done to open wheel racing in North America. I hate to watch the IRL crap wagons go round in circles. Now it appears he might get his way with"his hand full of nails for CART's coffin" He has bid to buy CART's assests but only the FORD engines, (so that the rest of the league will have nothing to put in there race cars if they started a new series) all the emergency equipment including the mobile hospital, (a new series would need all this to start up) and only one race, (the Long Beach Grand Prix) so that Toyota could attend their marquis race. He claims he cares about open wheel racing in N/A but really only wants to kill CART. 10 years after he split from CART it appears his deep pockets might win. As far as I'm concerned Tony can suck dead air from my liley white butt! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/finger.gif) |

I'm not exactly fond of what open wheel racing has ended up. But, CART had a helluva lot to do with their demise. It was so piss-poorly run that it bankrupted itself 4 years after going public. I liked the formula, but the last couple seasons its been a yawn. IRL isn't very exciting to me because ovals and ovals and ovals are boring, but mix it in with road races and temporary circuits and its a nice mix. The IRL WILL do road racing if it get's CARTs equipment like it has bid to do. Look for them in 05 if so. If the ex-team owners get their bid accepted, expect CART's new iteration to fail in 2 or 3 years, it just has to. Open wheel racing's only hope in North America is one league and the only way that will happen (at this point) is if the IRL is it.
