Tony George's original stated vision has been blown away. Now this is the kind of series he set up the IRL to offer an alternative to.
Big money teams competing here at the insistance of the sponsors, smaller squads being squeezed out, teams who can't afford top engines being unable to compete, almost all the frontrunners coming from outside America...
There are only two reasonabel conclusions that can be taken:
a) Tony's original intentions fo rthe series were not profitable enough, so he's ubtly changed tack by trying to kill the rivals off and crush their thrilling racing in favour of his own championship.
b) That was the idea all along, with the smaller entrants in the early days, who were just as heavily funded as the new CART entrants, being mere pawns in all this.
