Loooooooooooooooooooooooong overdue. Maybe someone smart will get the job, and make something of Indy again. Most importantly, getting the GP back.


EDIT: He's also out as CEO of the IRL! Sweet.

F1 is going to have to show some interest in North America again before a GP comes back anywhere on the continent. and they're also going to have to lower their sanctioning fees.

i'm not holding my breath.

Very interesting, specially since I was at the Speedway yesterday and did not hear a thing about it.

doozer is spot on about F1 and it's fees, and then factor in the "Tiregate" fiasco at Indy. Only a real gambler would want to risk promoting another USGP.

did you go to the museum?

You know it!!! It has changed a bit since 1972.
