I'll fill in the gaps for you here:
Andrew: There's no reason to run the 500 only [and not the rest of the series]! Audi always wins at Le Mans because they have the rest of the season to use as a test sessoin.
Me: Bringing prestige back to the Indy 500 is enough of a reason to allow [running only at Indy 500 and not the rest of the series]. And like Audi at Le Mans it might lead to more participation in Indycar."For 80 years this place has run on tradition. From today forward it will run as a business." - Tony George (Failed businessman)

Re: Indycars will start turning right at Indy?
I think the idea is a bad one if they don't do it in the fall, but I also think I can understand why they would be tempted. They need the revenue to keep the doors open. It is why I am not overly bent out of shape. At this point, they have little left to lose. I think the idea wont work, but hey, I will watch. I like Indycar. Would I like it if the series was opened up to more manufacturers and the rules were more open? Hell ya...but economics have dictated the mess the series is in, and that goes back to the split. It always does....

Re: Indycars will start turning right at Indy?
It all depends on how much more disappointment the series can stand for.
They can dump a lot into promoting an Indy road course and not have it attract the locals - not a big deal - but if people do not come from all around, it might be a little embarrassing. I'd rather they try it than not at all. Take the chance.
In fact, if I had any say, I'd love to see the facility used for competition every weekend of the year. Enduro karts, SCCA divisions of all kinds, Historics, Invitationals, Tuner meets, etc... heck, groom snow pack for snow mobiles in the winter for all I care. Just keep it going. It doesn't have to be overly formal to be really cool.
If IMS wants to be a recognized as a center for motorsport, a trio of races isn't going to cut it.
