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) |

other than the Indy 500, i've never watched an IRL race all the way through. even the TV coverage sucks, because they keep having to find camera vantage points where you can't see the empty grandstands.
for those of you who have never seen an IRL (Indy Race Lite) race, here's the description of most of them: 33 cars start. on lap 3, a hot dog tries to go too fast on cold tires and crashes into the wall, possibly taking out every one to his right. after 10 yellow flag laps to clear the track, racing resumes. repeat a couple of times. finally tires and drivers have warmed up and we get 20 continuous laps of green-flag racing. time for pit stops. unless there are more cold-tire crashes, the wick is turned up and people start racing. engines start breaking (stock blocks: you can make 'em fast, but you can't make 'em last...) and there are more crashes as people hit the oil. repeat for 2 hrs. roll the dice to determine which of the last 6 running cars will be able to limp accross the line first. roll credits. |
