Ken, you keep harping on what you try to make others believe was TG's "original vision." And you keep going back to it.
Things change. Situations change. Circumstances change, throughout life. I do NOT share your view of TG's "original vision." Changes have occurred. I plan to play golf tomorrow. But if rains cats and dogs, I'll probably pass on it. If a check you're looking for comes on a Monday instead of the previous Friday, for two days, you just hafta deal with it.
CART's "vision?" Certainly not bankruptcy. CC's "vision?" Certainly not bankruptcy. The IRL's PRIMARY vision? To be a racing league with more ovals centered around the Indianapolis 500. One of the three has been successful in doing what they set out to do.
