The Snout should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
Guys Dov is being sincere about this. We've all seen openwheel in North America dragged though the mud, and this isn't about who's to blame, lets make that clear. But some of us are tired of sitting around after 7 years, hoping things will get better. We'd like to see one series and we'd like to see IRL and CART come together to make it happen. The politicians like George, Pook, Penske, Rahal, Ganassi have had their shot and we're all worse off after 7 years.

So we are proposing that the fans take some kind of action, to be decided, and put pressure on both CART and IRL to talk about unifying. Maybe a petition and a picket of both IMS and CART HQ, it's an open discussion and to be decided. But the fans have the most power in racing, not TG or Pook or Penske, we do. We can boycott races, boycott products, merchandise, and we can make the powerbrokers listen to us, only if we unite.

Anyway, we've just come over to see what the IRL fans thoughts are on the matter.
If they would be interested in a common cause. It's not meant to be a debate about who has the best financial postion or the most fans etc etc. We're interested, as fans, in bringing some pressure to unite openwheel in America.

Thanks, thoughts appreciated.
