I really wouldn't mind if Cart simply became a smaller, lower budget series of mostly street/road circuits with an oval or two.

If both series are to survive, one of them needs to differentiate (sp?) itself from the other. All-Ovals vs. a mix, and non-turbo vs. turbo are not enough. Right now, there are a lot of folks that don't know the difference, that might be interested in one or the other if they did know. Instead, they think of all the things they don't like about "Indy Cars" ("too many road courses" or "too many ovals" or whatver) and lump them both together in their minds.
