Dammit! Ya gotta give me time to build the frickin' poll! :flame:



:D

[Insomniac]

I picked all but, "Champcar is done... I'm goin' Earlin'!". I don't think CC is doing fine, but I don't think it's closing up shop either. I think it's still struggling as much as it has the past few years.

Anything but EARLing.:flame:

Only 52% of this board likes boobs and booze? You guys do know that this was a multiple choice poll, right?

[Accipiter]

No better or worse than last year. Which I suppose is a disapointment, but then, so has nearly every season been since the split.

Some may be equating boobs to FTG. ;)

And remember some of us are female. Now if it was boobs and/or booze then it'd be different. ;)

[Sean O'Gorman]

The number of responses for boobs/booze has gone up 13% since my post. For once I'm actually influencing the direction of a thread in a positive way!

[nissan gtp]

this poll is in better shape than champ car :laugh:

[Ziggy]

Im still waiting for them to do something intelligent after leaving Judge Ott's courtroom

Getting Cottman was good, and uh, that race in China rawks :yuck:

Start with some concessions to the Reynard so the lower buck guys could run (read rent) them out and boost car counts.

but that's over isn't it :rolleyes:

Once I saw the word augering I couldn't help but click the boobs and booze choice.



The series marquee event, Long Beach, pales in comparison to Indy, Monaco, Daytona or a LeMans. It just doesn't have the clout.

The series marquee event kinda sets the tone for the rest of the series, hence, series that runs a street race as a marquee event = a street race series. (yea, I know F1 and Monaco but gimme a break, it's F1)

Street racing in large doses = sucks

CART 2002-2003 was already tanking.

Something had to be done since 2004 to right the ship. Aside from a fairly nice looking new car, an engine company and a cheaper ladder series formula, nothing really has changed.

Corporate $$$ = race cars on the track.

Corporate $$$ = real race drivers in the seats.

Corporate $$$ = Series is strong enough to pull fans to real race tracks.

Corporate $$$ = Series is strong enough to pull fans to the tube so corporations gain something from the series investment.

Kevin and Gerry's pocket change funding the series = Very expensive Hobby/Club racing, rich people have been known to lose interest in hobbies if it costs to much for too long.

Simple enough. Even a merger or unification, whatever happens, won't help if TG is the one pulling the strings in the end game.

OW is dying. What a sad way for the once great series known as CART and the great race, the Indy 500 to die from.

:(

At least I see the priorities are in line.
