Russ,
I certainly wasn't trying to run anyone off. Everyone is entitled to their opinion. In my opinion, Tony George isn't a visionary. He was in charge of the IMS and the IRL during a very trying time and he was able to keep the ship afloat. I am also glad that his families accomplishments and traditions at the speedway are recognized throughout the world. All of the improvements have been done without tax payers money. For that I am extremely thankful.
I also don't consider myself one of the message board "elite" as you put it. No better, no worse than anyone else on here. I also don't see everything through USAC colored glasses. I am glad that Bryan Clausen got the ride in Indy Lights but I still think that USAC could do a much better job promoting their own races and drivers. I still haven't seen much out of the Kevin Miller regime that was touted when he was hired.
As far as Randy Bernard is concerned, he has a difficult task of promoting a niche sport that for the past couple of decades was at war with each other. I believe if given time he will get this turned around and we will see an improved product on a higher TV stage.
I hope that IMS stays in the Hulman-George family and this rumor is false. Indianapolis is a better place with this group in charge. Who knows what a change in ownership would bring?
