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,
