Among other concerns were T.G.'s expressed misgivings
that CART was leading openwheel down the primrose
path and into a miasma of destruction. His premonitory
monition ignored, they of course promptly went bankrupt.

Last time I looked, OWRS survives in spite of the IRL, not because of it!

Hmm.. .what devastating repartee. Since TG's "vision" incorporates all
the elements that CART was, we can only wait for the IRL's eventual

Another chump clown gets it wrong yet again, hardly
a surprise. Here's just a few of the distinctions that
seperate the current IRL from the former CART series:

Naturally aspirated engines; single engine supplier;
single chassis supplier; mostly ovals; ethanol fuel;
EVERY event televised (the latter regularly had non
televised events); races broadcast in their entirety
(portions of the latter's were commonly pre-empted);
competent, just and consistent officiating (anyone
recall Dominguez' first "victory"); safer walls (an IRL
development); truly competitive races (instead of
parades); teams, owners, drivers ... haven't and
won't depart in droves to join the competitor; haven't
gone and and won't go bankrupt; fewer fatalities (sans
inclusions of either a single spectator or race worker) ...

You can rest assured in the most certain knowledge
that this will be your dead last spoon-feeding.

Each and every of your pathetic posts provides
proof positive that you're one ignorant, know-
nothing, opinionated southern goofball that still can't
spell, compose or relate a coherent thought, or parse
and resolve the meaning in a single sentence (which
is why I nearly never reply to your gibberish, and why
you can rest assured in the most certain knowledge
that this will be your dead last spoon-feeding), not to
mention your overtly laughable prognostications and
evaluations. As even a retarded 10 year old in a
hurry would easily determine, the referred to fraud
was the (lack of) veracity of the clearly hyperbolic
statement itself (and even at that, said of the 2000,
not the current, IRL) not the validity of its origins.

I direct your sorry ass to yet other previous posts
you didn't (and presumably still won't) understand:

http://groups.google.com/group/rec.autos.sport.cart/msg/4707e5dc59cfb63d
and
http://groups.google.com/group/rec.autos.sport.cart/msg/e6a601dc65496b8d

PS Now see if you can find someone with an IQ
above 70 (a blood relative quite obviously wouldn't
fit the bill) to explain this response, as you're just as
unlikely (as ever) to comprehend its meaning either.

Also had enough slapping around have you? It's like

I just couldn't help but notice that, and not limited to
just this occasion, but as always, you've failed yet
once more to provide an accurate example of either.
Then again, that's truly par for the "coarse" (and dense).

So the charge cycles once again, this time back

of your credibility still remaining to be zero.

Interesting that you, of all things, would be using the term
"pathological liars" to describe others. We don't have to look very
closely at your comments to know how well that applies to you.

You've been so clearly bested in this discussion that its not obvious
why you continue except that you may not actually realize you
out-of-touch you appear.

Which is no doubt why an idiot such as yourself has

proper example in support of your mealy-mouthed
charge.

Is that even English?! Yet again:

"Is that in some language that only twins understand?
Does composing a single comprehensive thought
or intelligible sentence still continue to present that
rigorous a challenge to your limited capabilities?"

Your brain is an illustrative example of a waste
of resources, presuming that you even have one.

You're been bested so clearly that you certainly have lost touch with

Well dot you finally got one thing right. I am from the south. I'm
American by birth and Southern by the grace of God. Outside of that
you missed on nearly all of it. You also seem to forget that Ganassi
had engine chassis package that was a great deal better than everyone
elses that year too. He had been dominate for a while. Still JPM
with that advantage JPM drove the wheels of the car to beat some of
the best IN CART. Yet it took testing, effort and to quote an old
book he likely had the "Unfair Advantage", but I doubt you know who
wrote it. No he didn't as far as I know cheat. That's a big
difference. Still he had the talent, courage, skill and experience to
drive the car to a title.

Now just how many CART drivers that have run the IRL 500 have done
well. That year JPM won and Vasser was about 6th. Top ten would
have to be considered a good run with those same handicaps. You
mentioned Bruno. Wasn't he in the lead or very near it when one AJ IV
sent him into the wall and he spent the next months in Methodist
trying to recover. He was a rolling chicane when he was in a wheel
chair recovering. Thankfully he is back in the car, and no IV didn't
mean to do it. It was a racing accident, but one that could easily be
argued shouldn't have happened. In years past IV wouldn't have made
the race. Some at his age are ready for that level of racing. He
needed more seasoning then and may still need it. Time will tell.
Then there is one Paul Tracy. He did ok Id say. Officical finish was
second, wink wink. Everyone with eyes could see what happened. You
sure need to make sure that IRL 500 winner is there to promote the
rest of the IRL season. Might see a few come over and try it again
this year too, but after the way they treated Paul and Bruno's
accident I would be a bit surprised to see it happen. Being scared
might not be stupid or cowardly. It might make good sense. I seem to
remember one Mario Andretti's testing a car that looked more like an
airplane than a race car. Thankfully he was ok.

Lots to talk about since 2003 which might have been old enough to have
still been a sell out. Did the IRL 500 sell out last year? No and
some will say its never sold out. You can always get GA tickets.
Again thats true, but till the last couple of years selling the seats
hasn't been a problem. Pre split the waiting list was decades long.
Now it doesn't exist. It goes from one of toughest tickets in sports
to get to a walk up race day and get a reserved seat.

Lets see since 03 we had a new song for the 500. "I am Indy" or was
it Mindy?? Either way Gene Simmons is gone just like a line of others
that have tried to promote the 500 since the split. How bout John
Mellencamp or Elaine Irvin Mellencamp. None have helped.

Now Al Jr HAD a good career. It should be over or at the very least
not running this 500. His well documented off track problems, and his
on personal life should be taking priority over running another 500.
His daughter has shown more strength than most every adult I have ever
met. Hopefully he will be able to get past his issues and enjoy
watching her become the great woman that I personally would bet just
about anything on her becoming. I wish them both well, but hopefully
he isn't running the 500.

Dot if you want to talk racing, talk racing. Disagree with points,
correct mistatement of facts hey thats why people are here. IF you
really think you are impressing people by insulting them, well I
guess they are impress but not in the way you think.

The re-introduction of CART drivers to the Indy 500, driving 'crapwagons'
peaked my interest. Since 1996 and up until that time, I rarely watched it, if
at all. I used to have Indy 500 barbecue parties around the pool (weather
permitting) up until 1995. Attendance was usually in the 20's, packing my
patio.

Since 1995? I've occasionally watched it with moderate curiosity with a hand
full of hard core race buffs like me, unless it was a warm sunny day in May and
I had a tee time or needed to cut the grass.

I remember the 1987 Indy 500. The Mexican F1 GP was on following the Indy 500
that day.

It was the same year that a friend of mine who was a young, up and coming Vice
President for a major stock trading company called me up and said "Do you want
to come down to Indy with me?". I asked about the details, and he said that I
would have to pay my own flight from Toronto to Indy, but after that, McKenzie
Financial (Scott Goodyear's sponsor) would pay for the rest. McKenzie
Financial was a very successful mutual fund, and the president was such a race
fan that he ended up working in the paddock for Scott's team just for fun.

Anyway, the reason why he asked me had to due with what happened in 1986.

He had to bail all his work mates out of jail because they were drunk and
disorderly. He thought that bringing me along would be a 'calming influence'.

At the time, I was a party animal!

Robby and Tony have a lot more to lose by getting hurt doing the one
off, and if the field really had talent the really shouldn't have a
shot at being competitive. No time for testing. No time for much of
anything but the race, and both have been out of aero cars long enough
that the changes that have taken place, even in the IRL have likely
left them way behind. Trouble is many of the IRL teams are in exactly
the same boat so they might be competitive. Robby would be more
likely to do it than Tony. No way Joe Gibbs is going to let his Chevy
driver win a race in a Honda. The double is thing of the past.
