Would the FIA approve the ramp to ramp jumps in the middle of the front straight?

He may be the only force for the fanatics-the paying public.
Indy motorsports has become “sponsored driven” with the likes of Go-Daddy so much so that the “new design” reflects the wealthy owner’s phallic obsession.

Randy Bernard may be just the one who gets the motorsport focussed and back on track. Why would Randy Bernard “be screwed”, he has a great, new job. Mrs. George hired him because she felt like she was getting “screwed”…obviously from the reaction of the “new design” maybe she was right!

Randy Bernard will answer to Mrs. George, and her business interests…first.

The team owners should want to make the fans happy. This is a very expensive business and now that T.G. has had his business allowance curbed it is up to the team owners, and the sponsors.

From the reality of the Nascar, people are interested in Danika…they watch….Sad really. Now everyone will be watching to see “what the new car looks like” and how much drama is created. If they wanted motorsports…they would watch Formula-one.

By the new design, it looks as if the team owners are only concerned about their sponsors.

Or go with a totally new formula, that alienates many of the current fanbase (or at least the 30-40 interneters out there) and take the risk of trying to gain new fans. Either way I think this decision isn’t a panacea for Indycar’s lack of popularity, remember the Panoz DP01 was fast, cool looking and Champcar’s fanbase loved it, but it didn’t save the series. You have to give motorsports fans a reason to watch, do you go radical or play it save? Randy Bernard is screwed!

I hope this is all over reaction and soon gone and forgotten. I hope the “powers that be continue thier “community outreach” and the new car is a blip on the controversy radar. I did not forsee lines in the sand being drawn between owners and league chassis pickers.
In other news. During the sensorship of the Silent Pagota, I posted that there were plenty of other sites that post the “other” type of word butchery. Of course, you George, came to mind. I like to think that I read most all of the Izod Indycar blogs. You are as informitive, thought provolking and polished as Hobbson is…uh….Animal House (“remember when the Germans bombed Peal Harbor?”). Of all the blogs I read Hobbson is on one end of the scale and you Sir are on the other. I like both forms very much so I guess that makes you best of class (literaly). Please don’t read to much into this but if someone does a good job and you enjoy thier work, maybe you should say something.
Cant wait for the new season

Try READING all the posts before you type Goofy… You will find my “recommendations” & we all PRAY you will pick up some knowledge of Indycar racing so you won’t post such rambling nonsense (for the rest of us to have to skip over)
