Interesting Reading
I found the following article to be rather good reading.
http://www.speedvision.com/auto/?lvl=3a&cat=27&id=1575 If I might quote just one sentence... "One of America’s most famous race drivers, who has Indianapolis 500 wins under his belt, anonymously told me that George is unloading nearly $100 million a year to keep the IRL afloat." And who does the author pick to win the 500? Why, one of the Penskes, of course! |

Thats a serious amount of money . But after he created the CART / IRL divide by taking away the biggest race in the world from Cart then maybe is could be said that T George doesnt want the embaresment of his series failing .

Hello, macdaddy.
Great article, thanks. After your message, I posted a note on the thread "Here in America..." in the Formula 1 forum pointing to it. Cheers, |
