I don't know of anyone calling Carpenter a hack this season. At least on the ovals he's a legitimate contender every time out. It's Foyt IV that I can't understand.

You guys praise too quickly. Six of the first seven races were on ovals. Of the remaining races, half (5) are on street / road courses, where Ed is lost. Expect him to drop like a stone in the standings. I mean, like, to almost 20th. I looked at the drivers between him and Justin (the driver currently 20th), and there's only about 35 points separating them.
So since you made a bet with someone, that a veteran driver, with a veteran team would do better than rookies in rookie teams, it's ok to bash & alienate the new members of this forum? I hope you make a *****load of money off that one. especially since at least one member hasn't seen the Carpenter bashing. But I guess if someone bashes your guys, it's ok to bash theirs. Two wrongs seem to make a right here. Once again, thanks for prolonging the split.Quote:

the war is over. the wall has been torn down and most fans have moved on.Quote:

his constant digs at champ car are rather pathetic and its best just to ignore him ;)
By the way, after Texas he is now 9th with Servia in 10th.
Again, the only reason it even came up was a CC fan felt that it was important to talk smack about Ed in the first place. I simply stated that IMO he would end up in front of 90% of the CC transition drivers.Quote:

it was the same for both sets of fans. The champ car forum used to full of IRL fans bashing CC, the same way the CC fans used to bash the IRL.Quote:
