Dallara wasn't the best but the 5 million subsidy gave them the edge. This outcome would mean that the IRL does not drive with the best chassis and that it might not be produced in the most economical location.Quote:

Furthermore the teams are forced to move if they want to be economically competitive. Which forces them to be in a location that is not the best economical for them (or they would already be in Indy)

Well then Log off the Internet because it was created by incompetence. Might as well shut off your computer as well. Turn in your keys to your car.
Grab some sheets to make a tent because in all likely your place of dwelling was created by incompetence.
Anyway. Back to the topic.
If the New car was such a great step for the future of the IRL then it wouldn't need any government subsidies.
Now i want to know why the power's that be at Indy made the relocation of a manufacturer and teams to Indy so important?

If you think that the boys from Indy weren't involved in a lobbying effort than you have a lot to learn.Quote:

At this point, Roush, Hendrick, Gibbs, and Chidress are the only teams still building their own chassis. Everyone else just buys from them.Quote:

3. Cars are subsidized from the government.
4. When the lot my house is on was first purchased, the land was cheap because it lacked sufficent drainage to support a septic tank. When the township built a sewer system, construction could begin. Thus, an act of government built my house.
1. Right. And it remained a limited resource until it was opened up to commercial interest in 1989.Quote:

3. GM and Chrysler are...Many companies aren't
4. And you decided to accept money taken by force from others to further your needs. Shame on you.
Oh and even with your Government lucre you still needed a private company to build your government housing.

So enticing a manufacturing facility to an economy in dire need of jobs had little to do with this huh? And it was all about the lobbying efforts of the folks at 16th and Georgetown? Uh huh, sure, if you say so.
