We understand your point - and it is WRONG. Don't argue with David or Dwight or me. We were there - we lived it. I've been following this stuff for 54 racing seasons now. I'm not puffing my chest out, but I probably forgot more about this facet of racing than you'll ever know.

:idea:Why don't you just talk about your Aussie sporty cars and such? You seem to know about that. I don't know anything about that and don't care to.

Here's an excerpt from your Wikipedia reference:

"Due to the settlement, and the obvious lack of direct connection to the Indianapolis 500 any longer, CART decided to revert back to the former term. It rebranded itself as "Champ Car" and the machines were referred to as "Champ cars."

So if I understand your logic, just because they decide to "rebrand" themselves "champ cars", that null and voids all REAL champ cars from history? No other "champs cars", currently or previously, ever exist(ed)?
Well, I just "rebranded" my pick up truck a "champ car". I guess that trumps all previous CART cars, which means they never existed! :kookoo
