Lee, if you're going to lump Canadian and American drivers together, you might as well include the Mexicans and call it North American drivers. In that case, CART isn't doing that bad. 9 of the 19 drivers are North American (and only one of those is a "pay-hack")
In the IRL, 13 of 25 drivers are American. So the ratio is about the same (of course, in the IRL, they are all from the USA).

2 Americans, 3 Canadians, and 4 Mexicans... Eh... I'd go with, at the very least 1 more American... Throw out that hack Lavin. I'd love to keep his sponsor around, though.... That Corona livery looks great! I wonder why they'd support such a sub-par driver? Always seem to be the way....
Actually, I'd say we need 66% to 75% North Americans in that case. In a big grid, that'd still leave room for Brazilians, Britons, and a few drivers who'd pay to circulate at the back.
But yeah, we can't afford to overlook Mexicans... They're just too obsessed with open-wheel racing to ignore.
