Players/Forsythe

[indycool]

Felt it necessary to respond to Mags on a separate thread.

Both JV and Greg Moore were sponsored by Player's in their CART rides for Forsythe. THAT is a "clear bankroll."

And, yes, I diss Gerry in this instance. He's supposed to be one of the gazillionaire saviours of the series and he owes Tracy money, kicked out Carpentier and took a ride-buy to take care of his own team before he took care of the series grid, as did the other OWRS principals with THEIR ride buys, any of which could have gone to shore up unfunded teams.

We keep hearing how much money these guys have and that they're going to save the series with "whatever it takes." Well, now, money is what it takes instead of Gentilozzi's rhetoric.

When Patrick and Penske started CART, they helped the little teams get going and built a series up. They helped them with money and occasionally loaned them race cars in a pinch in those early days, with the series first in mind.

These guys haven't.
