So we have a barnhart dallara that we are stuck with and nascar type smoke and mirrors to think you see something different.....

    BB screws ICS and the teams making the deal with dallara. The cars cost about 750,000.00 instead of about 350,000.00 that they were promised. Plus they have to buy all the small parts that can be fabricated in their shops from dallara.. What a royal screwing everyone is getting on the DW12 between the cost and parts then add the mickey mouse aero kits rules...

    Wow, $750k instead of $350k? That is huge (stating the obvious, i know). no wonder the owners are up in arms.... I thought the price was set/capped???

    So it's more expensive weighs the same and you could have rolled out the old one and say on pole at the 500

    I think the only one that knew the true cost and other items in the deal was BB( Penske's Pet in the ICS). BB shafted everyone with this deal after he made sure that even after all the proposals from other makers dallara was it. He should be tared and feathered and run out on a rail.
