Roger and his good old boys club could have played along instead of taking their ball and going home. Pretty sure they had the opportunity but instead elected to go off and run some absurd contradiction to the 500. Either way my hat's off to all of you in this conversation, agree or not it's pretty well articulated. One thing I certainly have an issue with is this path of indy lights and so forth. They still run super modifieds in this country, you would surely think with any race acumen at all, that the stars of that type of racing could easily adapt to the indy cars, yet barely a sniff is given. I guess ultimately it's all a money game boys. The little bit I read of the Gurney letter implies heavily, it's a business. That said indy car should not at all be confused about why their American audience has declined, for them it makes good business sense to hire foreigners with big wallets, and let the star's of American short track racing go race stock cars!
