    All these experts on here can do a better job....just ask them.

    When of course they fail, then they will realize complex problems created over 15 years of stupidity don't get fixed with knee jerk answers.

    Of course, that never stopped our crowd...

    Yes. But difficult as it was so far down the tubes to start with, the first thing I would do is get off of the Invisibilus network, er... versus. The second would be to drop Barney the officious deputy. Then cancel the Dallara contract, open it up to all comers on a performance spec basis both chassis and engine. Open up equivalency formulas for turbos, non turbo, diesel, 4 and 6 cyl. engines, open it up to all chassis incl. 'delta wing', implement plans to eventually become an alternative powered series with electric, hybrid, hydrogen fuels to reclaim the high tech mantel....

    Whats your plan? Better ride buyers?

    Nice try, but you forgot one MAJOR part of this. How do you propose to fund all of this? Got money tree growing in your back yard? Remember the sister have closed up the purse.

    The manufacturers you want to open this up to have all said they want no part unless they have an exclusive contract because they can't afford the development cost to be written off over a small number of cars (i.e. total car count / number of manufacturers). You'll find the same issue with engine providers.

    Getting off Versus means BUYING time on some other channel.

    Oh and canceling two contracts means buying out both of them. More $$$.

    Great ideas if you have a huge checkbook. Otherwise just a lot of empty talk.

    I was gonna post a response to him, but you pretty well covered it. Good job! A complex situation to say the least.
