Why would TG want to cooperate with CART? Kanaan, Castroneves, De Ferran, Brack, Giafonne, Dixon, Scheckter, Franchiti, Andretti are all in the IRL. I don't think adding Bourdais, Junqueira or Jordain is very important.
The year is no longer 1996 or 1998. CART in 2003 is losing millions by the quarter. The Best drivers and teams are now in the IRL. Hopefully Tony George will cherry pick the few owners and sponsors in CART worth anything like Haas and Lilly. A little birdie tells me Lilly might support the IRL in some fashion next year. Shut them down!
But really very little meat remains on the carcass.
