Is the open wheel world better off than it was a year ago?

[Rex Monaco]

No, Rex, we had 12 years of banal forum shelling of TG which continues at CW and is a bit weaker at other fora, it's one series now, times have changed and some of us are a bit tired of reading what an incompetent idiot TG is instead of germane comments and ideas about the IRL and top-level open-wheel racing.

So one can't be a NASCAR fan, unless they refrain from criticising the France famliy? And one can't enjoy F1 if they choose criticise Bernie?

Sorry, I disgree.

I think one can be a race fan and criticise it's leaders when and where it is warranted.

Criticism of the IRL or its leaders are one thing. Name-calling or slander of the IRL or its leaders are another. As the mods say at every forum, "it's how you say it."

Well, guess you guys can read some of your own posts to figure out why others draw that conclusion.

Is it because you are afraid of being told the truth ?
Is it a requirement to agree that OWR is better off now ?

It is one series and that is all we have to watch in the US, as far as OW is concerned. But, that does not mean that we MUST accept the premise that "things are better off now."

The way I said it, was that I don't think the last 12 years have shown that TG has what is required to fix AOWR.

Is that slander or name calling? And does that warrant the slander and name calling directed towards me? I think not.

Oh, Champ Car fans again. Look bitter that their series has died.
Ouch.

[Lemmy-Boy]

One year later, the status remains the same. Unless the NASCAR juggernaut suddenly vanishes, AOWR is STILL DEAD.

And yes, the VERSUS network is just another swan song for the IRL.

It isn't one year later. It's February to September.

I don't see this thread going anywhere, constructive criticism left this thread a long time ago, I'm closing this one.
