Yeah, you're right about the limits placed on starting spots for cars that didn't compete in the IRL series the first couple of years. That was a real knot-head move by Tony.
I liked the balance of tracks that CART raced on in it's hey-day, though I really didn't think much of the street races (Long Beach being the exception). Despite Tony's machinations, I still think CART could have twarted his efforts toward their demise if they had modified there rules to align with the IRL's around 2000 (I think that's when CART approved a new package) By then Tony needed the cars badly and had abandoned the guaranteed starting spots for IRL regulars. I'm not a Tony George fan, but he wasn't smart enough to kill CART without their help. Whatever the history, as a life long racing fan that favors openwheel racing I'm very happy to see just one series now. It bugs the hell out of me that it is a spec series, though. That just seems down-right un-American! The Star Mazda races are great! Those guys really go after it. Even so, I would rather see a full field of USAC midgets at Terra Haute or Eldora, or Belleville than just about any other type of race there is. |
