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) |

QUOTE(seanery @ Jan 25 2004, 11:33 AM) 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. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) Agreed totally. I just hate the way it is going about, TG and big bussiness taking to the little guys. CART killed itself trying to finance the series the way TG did for ten years. He had 100's of millions to do it with. CART had very little. The bad part of all this is the fact that one man will have all the cards. When CART was run by the owners and TG wanted to be able to VITO all votes but was denied, he left and took his bat and ball with him (the 500) Then he finances the series until CART ran out of money. Now he has more than a VITO, he is god to all open wheel racing. (if he wins, if not this time, maybe next year) |
