Ouch!, or, "a more broad perspective and understanding of the fundamental problems IndyCar faces, with a renewed strong fan commitment to AOWR will have a better affect on the result." :D

Nanders, thanks for setting me up so nicely so that I can deliver this little missive.

Awww, screw all that politically correct malarkey. Folks the war is over, so just get the hell over it all ready. If you can't get past it, then go away and don't let the door hit you in the buttukus on the way out. There are plenty of other places where the deniers gather to wring their hands and cry in their beer. This isn't one of them. Lest you need reminding, take a look at the title of this forum. It doesn't have a word in it about ChampCar or CART any more. Nope kids, it reads "Indycar". That is just harsh reality 101.

Yeah the car may be ugly, yeah it may not sound as sweet. But it's all we have. You can either accept that fact or piss in the wind it's your choice, because there really and truly is no third choice. If you believe that coming here and telling "...king George" that he must do this or he must do that or you are not going to do x, y or z will have ANY effect, then your are Cleopatra queen of denial. :s mokin:

Try reading it.

Yeah, poor Gidley. Driving for that crap a** Ganassi team is something I wouldn't wish on anyone. You know why none of the guys you listed ever "got the opportunity Paul has enjoyed?" Because none of them was even remotely close to him on the track.

"No, I don't give a toss if PT gets a ride or not."

This is a prime example of why the IRL has no fan base after 12 years.

"He is washed up."

Coming from somebody who apparently watches a series with Danica Patrick, Dan Wheldon, Tony Kannan, Ed Carpenter and Ryan Briscoe in it...well what can I say?

Indycar needs this guy if they expect to get any of the Champ Car fans to watch.

I won't be. Thank god for F-1.

Gidley never had ANY off season testing. EVER.

Yet, when he was put in the Target car, he led the most laps on ovals, out pointed many of the drivers, including PT, for points/races run.

Given a real chance (off season testing) may believe he could have been a series champ.

On a lighter note then, so if Gerry deems, Paul may have to don a little black hat at see Mrs. Forsythe off to the "Piggly Wiggly"? :D

Honestly, I have to believe there is way more to this than we would like to believe, OR something has already been detemined and it's PTs way of staying in the media. Exactly how hard, in this day and age, is it to "get ahold" of someone? Telephone, cell phone, webcam, fax, e-mail, for all he seems to be doing anyway, he could drive to Gerry's house, Indeck offices, Forsythe Racing shop. The man can't be that reclusive. We shall see, I guess.
