zerO should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
One Issue, Two Sides, One Outcome = OWRS will prevail ?!?!

OK, all arguements aside, let's see what the prevalent opinion is.

Latest from David Phillips (that I fully agree with) = http://www.speedtv.com/commentary/9434/

Latest from AutoWeek (who are pro-IRL biased) = http://autoweek.com/cat_print.mv?content_code=02462463

Latest Tony Johns spin (he's TG's personal scribe) = http://www.racingpress.com/publish/irlunity012104.shtml

And just to add a little "humor" here - kaka from Mickey Mouse = http://www.autosport.com/newsitem.asp?id=25812&s=18

Enjoy reading, pondering, and laughing ?!

Well, if this were poll, I would have to go with Tony's "personal scribe", Tony Johns, as you so prejudiciously put it, although they all had parts I could agree with.

His last couple of paragraphs, about "stubborn and intractible people", really rang true for me.

David Phillips can't possibly be biased since he writes for CART.com of all places.

Who cares whether it is OWRS, PG, TG, or SFIWGTJD, as long as at the end of the day, the fans can enjoy racing, and not have to worry about economics.

It matters. Without a sound economic base, a series can't survive. And if even NA$CAR can be wounded (and it was last year) anyone can be. TG can only keep bailing his series out for so long. If you want to see the death of open-wheeled racing in North America, go right ahead and cheer on TG trying to buy the assets of CART.

You heard it here first - it doesn't matter. OWR will run it's own series, no matter what TG does.

really tony john wrote a very good piece , if NAsCAR is falling apart from within-thenwe have hope of one mighty series we all knew of once. this can only be good- but they must stick with turbos

:confused: It matters or it doesn't matter?


And I think you missed the scoop on this, as Dov has long ago championed the opinion that OWRS will run its own series.

It's not an opinion, I found out that there are 9 committed venues at least for 2004.

Michael Andretti; the utterings of limited intellegence.

He's just angry because almost all of his fans think him an idiot and a traitor. Tough.

You have that right, and he took MY BOY Bryan with him. I'm really steamed about that - never to see Byran at Laguna again.
