I agree with you wholeheartedly...from '96 through...well now if you count Ed Carpenter and Sarah Fisher...TG has helped open wheel drivers make it to Indy...and yes I know Ed is there because its family...but he's still there. I, for one...or two I guess...applaud Tony George for his efforts even though they failed...and I still love watching the Indy Cars...there are very few in the series who don't belong there...um, Milka. I would love to see our midget and sprint guys make it to the IRL, but who is to say they could beat the guys and gals that are there now? Just like Dixon and Briscoe couldn't win at Gas City or Bloomington, I don't believe Jones or Darland...and I'm a huge Dave Darland fan...could win at Iowa or Watkins Glen in an IndyCar...I know it's all about money...but you aren't going to convince me that the drivers that are there now don't belong there. The owners have to do what they have to do to field a team, drivers do what they have to do to get a ride...that's just how it is. I would love to have it like it was in the 50's and 60's...but it ain't gonna happen, so can every thread that mentions IndyCars stop ending up in the same dead-horse beating conversation! Get over it already and just enjoy the racing!!!
