What did he win?
He made it more about himself than anything else, thus diverting the topic.
not that it's a tactic I haven't used over the years
But here's the response of "debate fan".
1-800-Wahhhh... I mean Mayyyyyyyy. ;)
Here's a another one 25 years ago to yip about.
"In 1979 CART held its first race in Phoenix and it was sanctioned by the Sports Car Club of America (SCCA). USAC was still running its National Championship separate from CART’s. When the time came around to submit entries for the Indianapolis 500(still sanctioned by USAC) several CART teams tried to enter. USAC rejected the entries because the members of CART were not in good standing with USAC over the separation. CART took USAC and IMS to court over the matter and a judge promptly ordered the entries to be accepted. In 1979, CART acquired sponsorship of PPG and renamed the series “PPG Indy Car World Series”. Between 1979 and 1981, several tracks previously associated with USAC jumped ship and went to CART. By 1982 the Indy 500 was the only USAC sanctioned Champ car/Indy race, essentially ending the USAC National Championship. Throughout the 80’s many road and street courses were added to CART’s schedule."
Sadly racing isn't always about racing, it's equally about piss poor business decisions. Narrow minded decisions yield narrow minded results. Whether decision by committee or decision by one the consequences can be equally damaging. So is life...
Looks like he didn't disagree with the original post. Did the ol winky thing he's known for because accurately the post would only show up in May.
Then I underlined where he actually agreed with original post, after pointing out another potential Month of May post about the first great USAC VS CART lawsuit.
