    So pretty much any chassis/engine combo from the past 25 years would have a legitimate shot at making the race and being competitive

    And how many would pass the current safety regulations?

    Now if you were to pull the regulations back 25 years the Penske push-rod M/B probably wouldn't even make the starting grid as technology has advanced so much that laps in the 250 MPH + range (and the ensuing chaos it would cause) would be easily attainable.

    R. Miller - Four or five owners looking to buy the series

    reported it on Wind Tunnel, and he also says this is more than. "just a rumor."

    Hmm... Lord help us all. Just when I was beginning to see hope and find a reason to start following this series. Well, that's OK - I still have my F1.

    I fill the same , F1 , ALMS and 24 LMS left for me. Indycar is making extremely hard to be a fan as much passionate I'm about it. I'm thankful I was part of 80s and 90s best racing that was!!!
    Keep it fast, keep it real!!!

    Wait, so let me get this right. If this comes to be, everything that happened between 1996 and now might as well not occurred??? I cannot even begin to express how incredibly frustrating that would be.... I have got to agree with Jag and Fiat.....

    some people saw it that way 17 years ago,,,,before $700 million was spent to control the sport,,over $125 million since '08 on team support alone,,,before Indycar had to reduce its sanction fees,,,when the 500 was getting a 9+ Nielsen number,,,when there were more than 15 days in May,,, when rookie orientation happened the last week of April

    Did you ever watch Dallas years ago? Remember that one season that they completely wrote off as Pam's dream that Bobby was dead? I think that was how it played. Anyway, that entire season was a complete write-off. This sad drama would be the same thing, right? Maybe worse. At least they just ruined one season.

    This collection of size 15 clown shoes can't rebuild the CART Humpty Dumpty. They killed it. It's dead! Them buying ANYTHING would simply lead to more confusion and foolishness. This is a hard, hard thing for me to say - let me let the food in my stomach settle a bit... but I would rather see Tony George be put back in charge, rather than these team owner clowns. At least then there would only be one moron screwing things up instead of four or five. And if Kalkhoven is one of the village idiots, go ahead and ban me now, Gary. I'd be obligated to go back to being like I used to be.

    too funny about the Dallas analogy. I can't say I disagree with your general thoughts - although both choices (TG vs. team owners) are pretty bad (kinda of like choosing what slow and painful way you wish to die....)
