New car news!!

But the system is in fact multi tiered ...... So that 1/2 of your answer just doesn't fly ...

We can't tell the difference between 200 215 or 240... Right?

So let's just tweak the indylights chassis so they need to lift in 1 and 3 and let's go racing.. Right?

Cheaper safer better right?

The simple answer is: Because 1. doing so would eliminate the lower tier of a two tiered system. A system I think is important. 2. It reduces the horsepower and does nothing to address the REAL issue of elimnating the 100% throttle racing.

Is there something you don't understand about those answers, or is there some other answer you want me to give you.

I never saw the 1961 race either, but I sure wish I would have been around. That was one heck of a race from what I hear, and the footage I've seen.

Chuck....see my reply above.... The system is in fact multi tiered so that. Of an answer at all

And if they can make the dw12 tough to drive at 220.... Why not tweak the current indylights chassis or similar tough to drive at 190 or 220?

Do you thinks fans can tell the difference between the freedom 100 and the I500?

My apologies, but I genuinely have no idea what this means.

So in your system what would take the place of the current Lights? Seems to me you are advocating for loosing a step in the ladder (the top one).

Now who is doing the ignoring? I said that it wasn't necessary to drop below 220 because that is "safe enough". What is the need to drive 190? You are arguing a point no one is trying to make.

Yes I do think you can tell the difference between 190 and 220. Is that what matters though?

How is it a multi tier system when you have eliminated one of the tiers, or if, what I think you are trying to say, is having both tiers run the same car?

Did anyone say no one could discern the difference between 200 and 240? No.

Why would we do as you suggest and just run the Indy Lights cars? I just don't see the point. It makes no sense to even consider it. Yet you are obsessed with getting some answer to a question that is ridiculous in the first place.

And you've never seen any highlights? Never heard any stories? Ok how about this ... What is your favorite Indy 500 and why?

Sarahfan, you are trying to carry on a conversation with a group of people that ride the short bus!

We both know its the simplest question in the world to try and answer yet time and time again they duck and dodge and bob and weave avoiding the simplest of answers because we both know they cannot answer the question.

Their lack of a genuine response in addressing the question tells me all the answer I need to know.

As opposed to the detailed and authoritative responses you have provided to all the points made in opposition to your own, I presume.
