[Lousada]

WOW! Finally some REAL positive news for Indycar. The bottom is reached and now it will only go up!

General Motors Co. and its motorsports entity - GM Racing - has committed to fielding a Chevrolet-branded Twin-Turbo V6 racing engine to compete against Honda in the IndyCar Series beginning with the 2012 season. The announcement will be made this Friday, November 12, at a venue yet to be determined, although a press conference at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway would not be unexpected.

Is there any right answer with you?

This is good for the series, another manufacturer and an American one to boot. Pretty hard to find anything negative about this, except for one or two of you people that the rest of us just wish would go away.

So I am suppose to approve of my Tax dollars being taken from me and given to what was once a poorly run private company just so the politicians can pay back the Unions for all their help?

No! I am not!

And if you think I am the only one against Government Bailouts then you weren't paying attention last Tuesday!

So then Anthony in your opinion, GM should not be racing in any series right now? It's typical that you'd piss all over any good news for the IRL, but I agree with you on GM spending tax dollars on racing. I think they should work on getting their books in order before spending on the frills of car racing. On the other hand, I like IndyCar, so personally I don't mind spending a few tax dollars to keep it going If I didn't like racing, I'd agree with you 100%.

I don't care what series it is. GM shouldn't be involved in any racing as long as they are working on my dime.

In a perfect world every cent would be returned to the Government(Including interest) and they would declare bankruptcy.
