This should bring a smile... but then a frown of despair to everyones face.

1.) Tony George

Why he brings the dickishness: This is the man that destroyed a grand legacy of open-wheel racing in America, certainly for now and perhaps permanently. George's crusade to make the Indy 500 an exclusively American race was a jingoistic slap at what has always been among the most international sports, and the divisions he fostered eventually led to the nearly irrelevant spec-racer series we see today. A sullen, entitled personality wraps up the package.

It was polite to add "nearly" in front of "irrelevant".

Hard to argue those choices too.

Chapman's inclusion highlights my ignorance of his personality as first discussed in the "Grand Prix -The Killer Years" thread.

Wow that was a tad self centered. Apologies.

[Andrew Longman]

Agree with most of the list. Foyt, sure. Couldn't get a Unser, particularly Bobby on there?

Not sure I agree on Chapman. He was a product of his times. But the again Sir Jackie refused to be a product of his times.

They voted or was there some type of official measurement?

Does it make a difference? He'd win either way.

Wow, I guess I never heard that rumor. He must have a baby's arm down there.
