    Bull.....

    If Autoracing1.com is correct, the IRL is considering hiring the head of the Professional Bull Riding association to head the IRL...

    So, it was not just the owners or CART, or Tony George, apparently nearly anybody with anything to do with AOWR just doesn't get it......

    Perhaps they should go after the head of the bowlers assoc. or even professional thumb wrestling...... how much more can you marginalize the sport????

    ARGUHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    New race rule ... all car numbers are put in a bowl and the drivers draw for their bull (car) they race that day.

    Can you here the announcer now? "Look, Dixon drew the Vision backup car; sucks to be him!"

    How about this. Drives must keep one hand in the air the entire race.

    reading the press release I think we are looking at CART 2.0 - the guy apparently formed his bull riding association by banding together the riders - I bet he is being hired to restructure the IRL to spin it off to be a team owned model like CART....

    which begs the question - "what was the past 15 years all about....??"

    this theory would also explain TG's closing down of Vision - I think he has probably eaten enough crow for a lifetime and would prefer not to be a cog in CART part deux....

    Every single post (but mine) here is so good.

    I was going to recommend just retiring the Dallaras and running cows with numbers on them. But what would pit stops be like?

    This must be a joke. What an absolute farce. I think they should just give 1/3 ownership of Indycar to each of Penske, Andretti and Ganassi before its too late.

    Not far off from what I have been thinking for awhile now, Penske needs to take over like he did when him, Patrick, and the gang started CART. With Penske's leadership, I'm sure Ganassi, Andretti (including Mario), etc. would get on board and get the ship pointed back to Earth.
    It isn't the car Danica...it is the space between the steering wheel and the seat.
