What the No Pass for the Lead season in the IRL needs some CCWS random parts failure to liven it up:

IRL asks Honda and Dallara to screw up more (http://pressdog.typepad.com/dogblog/2007/07/irl-officials-a.html) :D

Indy Racing League officials have asked Honda and Dallara Automobili to "look the other way, or hire some really unqualified people" in order to liven up some fairly hum-drum racing.

I thought all the really unqualified drivers were already there to create randomness and carnage.

They need to ditch Dallara and hire Boeing or Cessna.

Tony George would probably make a deal with Eviation (which bought the Visionaire assets) for airframe development. They could call it the Vantage III, even though the original Vantage and the Eviation EV-20 derivative both never achieved FAA certification. The FAA wouldn't care about the Vantage III since they aren't concerned with ground effect cars that suddenly decide to be ground effect aircraft.

Maybe Dallara needs to license some info to the guy that does the Air Car.

He can't seem to get his car off the ground and Dallara can't seem to keep theirs out of the air.

Dallara's big inovation has been the push to fly button. Perfect for a racing league that posts highlight videos of crashes and wrecks on it's website. :shakehead

This one already has a rear wing so it's good to go for the IRL. Plus it already sucks and blows as well.:rofl:
