It is a time of rebuilding after a long teardown. NASCAR did not blossom overnight. This isn't going to do so, either.
I see your point very well because it sums up how I've come to feel. From my point of view, very well stated.Quote:

As I said 5 or 6 times already, I donīt see any bad decisions or mistakes this year, I donīt think I would want things done differently, but that doesnīt mean I have to like what AOWR looks right now.
But you understand that because of that it is OK to complain about the actual state, there is no split now, we can look at reality and dislike the numbers and hope for the best, but we can and we should dislike the present, this is not what the fans, the teams, the drivers or TG wants, we all dislike the current state.Quote:

I understand Ken, he is not doing it out of bitterness, he was doing it with CC and he was a big CC fan, but that didnīt stop him from disliking the things he was sure would destroy CC.
05/01/09 Rumor has it that Laura George, IMS Staff Advisor and wife of Tony George, got fired this week from the Indianapolis Motor Speedway by Tony George's sisters - Kathi George, Nancy George and Josephine (Josie) George. They along with Tony own the Speedway.
From what we hear she cleaned out her office. Do you sense a family feud brewing?
We also hear they may have hired a new Chief Financial Officer to advise on key financial matters.
^IC... either of those 2 rumors hold water?

Too many self inflicted wounds and missed opportunities and just too many wasted years gone by to be at that level again.
grant me the strength to change what I can, the patience to accept what I cannot, and the wisdom to know the difference...
