With Chris Pook ruling himself out of the CART job because he disagreed with the intended direction, It strikes me more than ever that he is the guy CART needs. I may be way off, but the other candidate seems to be a bit of a careerist to me. You know, spend 2 or 3 years in the job, enjoy healthy salary and share options and then jump ship when the timing is good.
Pook, on the other hand, is a racer. It's plainly evident to anyone who is a fan of CC racing that CART needs a good kick up the arse if it's not to be done in by that dull steamroller, Nascar. His track record is indisputable and, remember, he told Bernie what to do when a screwing attempt was made at Long Beach. The result of that is known to us all (superb LBGP & no comparable US GP for many years) Come on Roger, Chip, Carl & Pat. Swallow your pride. There is nothing left to lose. |

Where did you read this? I'd be interested to see it as I had thought that the reason he ruled himself out was that he wanted them to move the CART offices out of Detroit.

It was Thursdays Autosport. It took me until today to post the message because I was in shock at the Rockingham prices!

We won't get Thursday's autosport until Tuesday at the earliest, so I will look for the article then.
It's interesting that everyone seems to find the Rockingham prices out of line. |
