Hell, Robin Miller has turned optimistic for the first time since I was a teenager reading Racer.
Penske and Ganassi need to look long term, who cares if you are winning for the next year or two if the formula dies??? We need new chassis' (emphasis on plural!) sooner or there won't be a later.

I remember learning in business school, the "downward business spiral" and that sometimes a point is reached where the business is unrecoverable.
You can see in all these threads on here a lot of ideas people are throwing up at the ceiling to see what sticks and certainly there are some good ideas that have been mentioned. But I think it has reached a point where except for around 250K people in the world, no one cares anymore, nor will they care. It's also at a point where so much has been lost that there is just no coming back. And everything I have heard for 2 years suggests the money is just about gone.
So I think there is two options left as the status quo aint gonna cut it.
1. Let the remnants of the sport die out.
2. Get indycar sold off to new owners and totally reboot the whole thing.
I think time is running out and burbling along on versus with a .2 rating isn't going to last for long.
We'll see but I will be surprised if the status quo as it stands today is the same in 18-24 months.
The game is up.
