If NASCAR which right now is the number one sanctioning body in this country has taken a pass on basically the same thing what makes you think they or anyone else will want it? The cars are not attractive, the racing before was poor at best, there was little to no crowds and almost zero fan support and base. PLUS now you're going to run them on road courses which should NEVER happen, should be an oval track only series. I'm all for growing and supporting the Champ Cars but this THING in not a champ car anymore than those things CART/etc tried to pass off as one. A pig is till a pig, a joke it still a joke and this thing is both, and this from someone who saw his first USAC dirt champ race in 1969, if your longtime fan base and car owners don't embrace it at least at a 90% level it won't work and right now I doubt you're close to 50% support. Change is one thing, to totally and completely alter the concept and history to unrecognizable is another......

This car will be on display at the Indy show with a chevy engine from Earnhardt/Ganassi.
Only at this moment IOW is the only place the latest picture of this project are. Thanks to Bruce Ashmore for the first look.
Old engines go to lower funded teams, ARCA, Nationwide, Trucks. And some teams, builders, TRD etc. are VERY picky about who gets their engines/secrets and several do not sell motors to just anyone and a large amount DO NOT sell motors at all...... PLUS who believes that most car owners are going to pay for a used engine (500 miles anyone) over a new fresh engine.......
