Chimp, are we making up the rules as we go along? Champ Car / CART never
once stated that they only wanted Americans. That was a part of the
"vision". remember? And of that impressive list of IRL participants how
many were once off Indy 500 field fillers and how many were full time
IRLers. I really don't know and I'm not going to look but a lot of those
names don't look like regulars. Of the 17 names there it looks like only
5
or 6 are full time IRL drivers. What was the "vision" again? 1/3
Americans? No wait, I just heard Tony say on national TV that the IRL is
an
international series. It's so confusing.
