Vision Racing owner Tony George, who founded the Indy Racing League, said Thursday his family's team is not yet funded for 2010 and needs to be before the end of this season "or it will be decision time."

Just another indication of what many have contended all along. Tony George has never done anything for the love of the sport. He's only acted to feed his own ego.

Well then he sure liked feeding his ego cocaine.

Tony is probably the best example ever of what happens when you give a dumbass a huge pile of money.

You don't think last weeks GrandSham test at the hickyard was a coincidence? :laugh: When the current MotoGP contract ends you'll see J. France and R. Edmonson's DMG 2 wheel circus act take over there too. ;)

That will give the France family control of 3 out of the 4 annual events run at old paw paws place.

It's funny what happens to a rookie gambler when he decides to bluff big and is essentially oblivious that he is throwing the deed to the family farm into the pot when he attempts to use the 'Ol Ponderosa as leverage. :tony:

Absolutely, this is a guy that when you look in his eyes you see the back of his head. Giving him anything more than an allowance and a pretend job was a recipe for disaster from the get go.

Then he even jettisoned the pretend job that was left him! Brilliant. Why, it's almost as if he knows something none of us have annnny idea about! Gosh, if we just had some clues.:gomer:

Excellent!

TG's total destruction of OW in the US is coming full circle and almost complete.

It is so appropriate that they guy who thought success was defined by power and control rather than creating value for participants and stakeholders should get shut down because his team can't create value.

I am a bit sad about how much value has been destroyed though... but I started getting over that several years ago.

It's like Bush, Iraq and private medical insurance. Would've been happier if I was wrong and the idiot never suffers as much as the people around the idiot.

Well put...

I am sad about the demise of the sport...

However, I am actually rather pleased about the demise of the TG. Somehow there is karma at work.

It's amazing how blowing countless millions of someone's money and having nothing to show for it can irritate them. :tony:

Had he done nothing, they'd be better off. You have to think that some of the less moronic family members are keenly aware of that.

Thank God the Germans invented the word schadenfreude.

As I see so many greedy, stupid people going broke in this economic collapse, and with the demise of AOW, I find that word coming to mind daily.

**** 'em.

Forsythe should offer to sell him a CART franchise. He may be dumb enough to buy it.

Good one John. Maybe Forsythe will be standing there with a few buck and will pick up the series when the family has had its fill. I doubt it but then who knows. I also wonder if anyone is going to be able to make a go of it.

I hope Roger, Cheap and Mikey are really happy now. If they hadn't switched who knows.....................................

Isn't there still a board where they proclaim that the strip club owner is going to raise Champ Car from the ashes?
