I wish KK and GF would have gone ahead and left Champcar as a series this year, before conducting any kind of merger.
Some of you think that's the worst thing they could do, but the IRL would have been looking at a new tv contract, sponsorship, etc....
Maybe with this economy and the way things are right now, TG would be willing to actually "merge" in the correct way!!
Maybe the DP01's could have gone through rigorous testing on various ovals at this stage, and there wouldn't have to be a big issue about waiting for a new chassis and engine program.
Maybe Honda and Cosworth could remain engine suppliers to keep costs down and create a rivalry of who had the better engine for the fans.
Maybe most of the tracks that were worthy of prestigious open wheel racing would still be on the schedule.
Maybe yesteryear could have returned, and for one race a year, the whole series raced with cars designed safely like those dirt trackers that started it all, and it was part of the points!! And the Borg-Warner, and the Vanderbilt Cup would have truly meant something special to all of the drivers and fans. And the centennials for these races would have been phenomenol!!
That's what I'd have liked to have seen.
