Massage to Indy brass...

I am still waiting for the numbers you talked about in the first post quoted above. Where are the numbers that show SPEED is the missing ingredient. Because that is what you said and the numbers shown re: RA don't prove that assertion at all. When you say "we all know what Indycar fans want and would pay double to see it again", what exactly is the "it" you are referring to?

Sorry you right, must of been bratwurst then.

So you are just going to continue to ignore questions to points you raise, and instead post silly answers? I still have no idea what the pronoun "it" referred to in the sentence quote above. And I still have no idea why you think SPEED was the reason there were 70,000 people at RA. I think it had a LOT more to do with competitive racing than just pure speed. I have suggested for years that no fan can tell a difference of 5 MPH from one year to the next at the same venue, without the use of a stop watch. I do think that they can easily tell the difference in a 50% increase in HP and 50% reduction in total downforce. Those two things combined would likely result in a reduction in lap speed, but an marked increase in racing excitement. And to me THAT is the missing piece.
