Agree with Nigel, they couldn't go back wards on car design with tube frames.

I wasn't a huge fan of the IRL early days. NASCAR would no doubt run Nationwide and trucks at some where like longbeach, and the Indy Cars would be racing back at Michingan, in support of Nationwide series or trucks.

I do think the marketing machine would be a huge help for Indy Cars.

Interested in what was said above about the series trying to make parity amongst teams. CART did this witht turbo boost and really pissed off Honda I recall?
