Having met and talked to Randy often during the past 3 years, I can say he is a real leader and not a politician/puppet. He will bounce back professionally very soon. The same can not be said for IndyCar. I am also afraid that IMS will begin anew its decline that started in the mid 1990s with the retirements of our American racing heroes and stabilized for the moment by the centennial era. I will always support the Indy 500 but the remainder of my IndyCar racing budget will now be placed in my USAC/Indiana non wing budget for 2013. One man's loss is another man's gain. So be it for my disposable 2013 racing dollars. I look forward to seeing more of the Hoosier landscape!

What is it about racing organizations located on 16th street in Indianapolis and horrible decisions?

Go ahead and kiss the small link RB put in place for USAC to the Indy 500 goodbye. BC is in the pipeline so hopefully he can build on last year. I don't see anybody else getting a shot now unless they have a bag of money. People have been screeming for years about short track guys needing a shot. RB listened to that. Guees that fanbase goes back to being ignored again.
Those on 16th street are clueless. Many want to be in charge (or want their guy in charge), but they don't know what they want them to be in charge of. ZERO direction. |

All family owned business tend to fail after the death of the founder. Tony Hulman had a dream, he had the desire and he had the vision. The kids grow up without those things. When the kids get the business handed to them on a platter, they become arrogant know it all S O B's.
The only chance for "INDY" is if Mom tells her kids to take a hike. Then she sells the company and take it public. All the kids really want is the money, and this way they can have what they want and the business might survive. The kids won't be backbiting one another and everyone might be happy.
