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)

If you have NOT been to INDY or anyother IRL race in person how can you be so sure you would not have fun. Try it, you may like it or at least learn to appreciate what in DEVELOPING before your jaded eyes.

I have been to INDY (back in 94 before it was watered down) Daytona, Michigan, Montreal and Toronto's Molson Indy. (and had fun at all of them) I appreciated what it WAS back then. Since then it has been a joke. The whole series has been a one trick pony with an average grandstand seating less than a pre season NBA game. (except the 500, but even that has suffered substantially since the split) The split has hurt all openwheel racing in North America, all because of one mans greed. The year before Penske left CART, CART tried several times to amalgamate the series but (IMG:style_emoticons/default/ar15.gif) TG just said F you. Die CART Die! He wasn't interested in a series where he might have to share a rule book, he just wants total control (IMG:style_emoticons/default/finger.gif) JUST LIKE BERNIE over in Europe. Oh that will be better for sure. :finger2:
