I can't move around much right now. So I've been amusing myself over the past few days by looking back through hard drive folders with old CART pictures. It is truly amazing how many of the sponsors that were once in CART (and then the IRL) that are now in NASCAR... or somewhere else. I sure do miss the Tecate Girls. Yeppers, I do. mokin:
This is just flat sad. It's going to take a lot more than a tax cut to fix this.

Give the Zetas some thought before dismissing them. Gordon, Stewart, Montoya, Johnson... ya want Scott Speed and Allmendinger too? The series needs drivers that people do (or can) care about.

A tax break for sponsoring sport would be the ideal, but it isn't really something that would politically fly.
The IRL just has to soldier on making its product more viable, better on TV, better show in person and more competitive and interesting to the casual fan. If they can trend the curve upwards, then the advertisers and Fortune 500 people will pay more attention."Water for my horses, beer for my men and mud for my turtle".

But you're correct: the antique/used race car market has kept many of these teams on the grid. So it'll be interesting to see how they deal with having to buy new ones (and parts, tooling, etc.). Maybe the IRL will buy a certain number of chassis and lease them back to the teams?"Every generation's memory is exactly as long as its own experience." --John Kenneth Galbraith
