Watched Monaco then Indy, then the 600. Didn't miss a lap of any of them! My ass was sore!
It's true that Indy isn't what it used to be... but it's still Indy. The whole open wheel mess started in 78 when the entire USAC brain trust was killed in a private air crash. That bolstered the team owners to take over the races and start CART. I remember Roger Penske trying to rip a USAC patch off a drivers uniform at Indy in 79 or 80. It really got ugly, but Indy's prestige didn't suffer from it. It took Tony George and the screwed up leadership at CART to do that. It was a big bunch of rich guys with giant egos. Tony only needed to worry about Indy, but his concerns over the future of the series, while legitimate, clouded his judgment IMHO. In '95 (the last year before the split) 96 cars entered the 500. The next year they had to scrounge up a dozen back-markers just to fill the feild. Indy will come back, it's just going to take some time. Every racer still dreams of winning Indy. |
