I read the story someplace else and the indication was that he was just going to run Brazilian stock cars over the winter. I think he has a ride in Indycars for '13.

Thanx, Jose....with this thread, I feel like I'm back at home online.

Thanx, Gary....good to be here....will try to "stay aboard."

Thanx, Jag, and same to you....I get and feel your reference to old soldiers hanging around the VFW Hall. There are some who now have that conflict permanently in their DNA and others just moving...

Oh, okay....you're way ahead of me there! :)

There seems to be so much happening -- or not happening -- I can't keep track of it all. Sorry I've been off the air for awhile....seems like I'm going to doctors all the time. Well, my take: I don't...

I'm a little off the mark about the appeals panel for the hearing this week. I don't have anything against any of those guys -- Gappens, Helmling or Stoops -- but I DO have questions about ANY racing...

Although some on the forum and the author of this article seem to agree that CART seemed to INVENT the rear-engine Indy car, CART just accomplished a lot in progressive technology, stability, safety...

Thanx, Gary.......hope to participate more now..........

Developed an illness five years ago that occasionally flares up and was in the hospital for four months earlier this year, so have kinda been offline of late and just gettin' back a little.

Money gets you to the race track, anyhow, Mark. That's why cost containment is a big issue, especially now. It, sadly, ain't the '50s and '60s anymore.

I stand corrected. You guys are looking to the futrure with this thing and I am, too. The sport isn't going to get healthy with it right now, but it may in soime form in the future.

Gary, Ken, Mark,

With the long nose, the DW can't be that rigid in the front, even though the drivers' feet will be well behind. I don't know where the chassis' firewall points are but it looks...

The Delta Wing is the, IMO, latest pied-piper saviour of the Indy Car world.

15 months ago, we were hearing the virtues extolled about the DP-01, which was supposed to revolutionize Indy Car...

Ken, my expectations bare for very modest improvement.


Nick, the split hurt, It's like marketing the SPORT from the grond up now. More ovals helps. Centennial Era at Indy helps. Texas helps. But...

Mark, I'll concede that last year wasn't as good as the year before. don't think any sport can produce a cliffhanger every time. As far as ratings go, it was tobe expected. $$$$ again. Hang millions...

Dull racing, Mark? Hornish's win at Indy was dull? Texas is dull?

It is the job of the IRL to control costs and make sure it's a level playing field. Dan Gurney wrote a White Paper, created a stock block engine that could compete, put Rocky Moran in it and almost...

Mark, if four mnufacturers arein, that's roughly 5-6 cars per manufacturer. That's a lot of $$$$ for 5-6 cars. Past that, if it doesn't go fast, the customer base will drop rapidly. Could well put...

If Bowlby designed cars for Lola, I'd like to know when. Bruce Ashmore was there forever,

Let's put it this way. It's about money and conflicts of interest. With four chassis out there, nobody's going to make any bucks. With two, someone will be faster and all the teams will gravitate to...

Little late for that.

Bowlby might have a good idea, but who's going to manufacture it?

But all three are familiar with Indy Cars. They've built 'em before.
