Double Post...sorry

Jack Arute reported that Paul Newman's absence from Indy had nothing to do with the formation of the IRL. He actually was upset that he could not feed his crew unless he used the official Indy...

I remember that being said by TG at the Unification press conference on Speed TV. No way would Gerry get paid that kind of money and not sign a non compete clause.

The interesting part is the EG insinuates that road racing is not grueling. At least not as grueling as oval racing.

According to the IndyStar article, podiums for the top 3 finishers will be...

The IRL plans to honor the top three finishers at the majority of its races. But not Indy and Texas.

"It's perfectly fine for road-course racing or street-course racing, but you don't do that...

The IRL won the war and therefore Indy will take the entire month of May to run. Just accept it.

As for Houston, maybe it can be back in 2009. If Tony George wants 20 races on the schedule,...

TG never really did say whether turbos are being considered for the future. He said that they would look at all kinds of technologies for future engine formulas. He mentioned ethonal as an example.

On Wind Tunnel Tony George stated that he expect the new IRL to have an even mix of oval, road and street races. Also a good mix of American and Forgein drivers. If this is true, they can win this...

Sorry meant to say Vanderbilt Cup. No need for meds just a error on my part. That is what happens when typing too fast.

I agree. The IRL won the war there is already an IRL fourm. Eventually this forum will die down as there is no races and such to talk about. Merging the two is just plain goofy.

Yes I agree with that. But dont make it sound like the I500 was not tarnished in the process. It is no longer the event it once was. And everything I stated about the I500 and the IRL is correct!...

When you lose a war, the winner (IRL) dictates what happens. Tony George is gonna dump the Borg Warner Trophy along with anything else he despises about CART. All he wants is a few teams, Long...

I became interested when the split happened. I never really cared before then but the news of the split peaked my interest. I watched the US500 and soon after became a fan of Zanardi. When he left...

The IRL is mostly an oval series. They won the war and will dictate to everyone what will be watched. I doubt seriously that many of CCWS's street/oval events will make any future IRL calendars.

Oh Really. The same Indy 500 that has lost much of its luster and is no longer the premier event it once was. I doubt it. CART had good ratings and support for some time after the split.


...

I wouldnt count of those being added. The IRL wants to stay predominately an Oval series and they already have 5 road events plus 3 that they just picked up from CCWS. Now Toronto, Cleveland, and...

That is TILT the IRL's Way

I'm gonna say when Toyota and Honda left. They took Penske, Ganassi, Rahal and Andretti with them. They said they went where their sponsors wanted them to go. What a...

Back to the original question Is this really such a shame? Yes when CART/CCWS lost a 12 year civil war, there is shame. There is shame in losing. The beginning of the 2007 season held so much...

Correction. Website is back up but no mention of the merger. Unlike the IRL's website which does.

Cant get any more official than that. It is as if CCWS never existed. I know that I wont be watching crapwagons this year. I began watching CART when the split happended. Dont care about the IRL...
