And then they can have garden parties with Mos Def and Elvis Costello.

It would be nice to see the new series come to the Watkins Glenn.

more drama from Europe whats else is new ..Maybe I can shave my legs, start listening to techno, become a vegan, get a poodle and drive for F1. I don't get it wake me up when its over.

the vegan thing was a round the way bad joke eluding to the fact that the IRL celebrates with milk ..Thus adding to the self absorbed pompous attitude that most F1 drivers carry. Milk is not good enough for them nor is Indy. Nor is F1 apparently.

Not to mention its my understanding that the Prince informed FIA, no Ferrari, no Raci. Apparently Herr Max and Mr Bernie may have overplayed their cards... Going to be a great silly season...

You are correct.

No Ferrari, no Monaco.

what is the rate of success when the teams manage the series? Nascar and IRL and FIA has an outside leader

CART had a half dozen changes after 1995 to bury the IRL, and they screwed up each and every one of them in the most comical ways possible. I swear sometimes I think that late CART and CCWS were run by actual honest to god clowns. Not that I think IndyCar management is really any better.


Its very easy to point out the similarities between this breakdown and the CART/IRL issues, but its still very very different.

This is around the corner for NASCAR......Hendrick,Roush,Gibs, and Childress own Helton and the France family. If they piss off the big teams, NASCAR is done
