Odd.....Doesn't it seem interesting that about the time you quit hearing: "It's a new track record" at the Speedway....the crowds started diminishing?
I know what I know, I believe what I believe and if I am wrong then I am wrong. Thats fine.
Without going into some long winded thing backing up those things, I'll just say this: The real problem isn't cost driven, it's culture driven and cost's are a symptom.
Have none of you played three card Monty? You're always watching the Ace, but the Ace doesn't exist because it's a smoke screen. Just like the cost of motors isn't the real problem.
Do not get me wrong....if a motor can be produced that meets the things I said in the previous post, then I am all for it. If it is anything that cannot compare to what is being run today.....or is not part of a long term program that truely benefits the racers; then it's not the right direction. Just a gimmick.

By the way......What do you think people....todays Indycar fans....would think if the cars went back to running 150mph?
I don't care if you had 100 cars there....there would be no fans. At least none born after 1970.
