I completely agree. There is so many exciting, local venues that aren't commericialized, why would someone what to go any where else?

Maybe Bobby Santos or some of the other young open wheel guy's will get a chance at Champ Car or the IRL :idea: I think there are a few openings in the IRL for next season. If Marco Andretti can do it why not some of the young americans :idea: I just hate seeing all these young drivers trying to go the bashcar route.

Just my oppinion :rolleyes:

:rolling:priceless

generic cars, generic drivers.

Marco Andretti, Came from shifter karts, the closest thing to an indy car performance wise for under 500,000, so did Scott Speed in F-1. don't forget those are 150 mile an hour go karts. Dirt doesn't help you go fast in an indy car But it's alot more fun. winged pavement 410s are a good trainingg ground and faster than an indy car on a short track.

Thats why I named Bobby Santos as a one of the young guy's. He was a National karting champ. Since then he has run and won in 350 Supers, ISMA Supers, Oswego Supers, WMT & SK Modifieds, NEMA Midgets, PRA and all 3 USAC pavement div. :checkered::checkered:

To be honest I enjoy watching the NHRA on sunday nights over Nascar. Unless there is someone running the race that i'm interested in watching.
