Flame Racing Who's the moron that broke up Indy Car racing into two leagues? They should publicly flogg and hang this guy.
Prior to the IRL and Champ Car Series Leagues, CART was the dominant car race in the U.S. How did they believe by leaving CART and starting the IRL that it would would be good for open wheel racing? and with both series struggling in comparison to the past numbers of CART, how come they just dont get back together and form one league again? I know there has been talks, but hello. . . WTF is taking so long? It amazes me that the leaders of these these 2 leagues can just sit there and watch as NASCAR does laps around them in terms of revenue and popularity.
In my honest opinion, if they never f'd up CART, open wheel racing would be just as if not more popular that NASCAR is today.
and for all you hicks that think i'm bashing NASCAR, I'm not! I like NASCAR too, as well as F1 and NHRA so save your flaming remarks and get rid of that mullet
Do a little research and you will see that CART was the author of it's own misfortune.
The CART formula was wrong - owners running the series, hiring people such as Andrew Craig and taking the company public.
The Indianapolis 500, arguably among the world's best-known races, although a points-scoring race for CART, was not organized or run by CART, but by Tony George. Love him or hate him, his race was important to the series, yet he didn't have a voting position on the CART board of directors.
Tony's formation of the IRL didn't kill CART, it was already on shaky ground.
At one time CART fancied itself as equal to, or even better than Formula One and for that, the series needed money which came from a lot of import `pay drivers' and to the exclusion of Americans. It's no secret that the ticket-buying American public prefer to root for their own and, after names like Unser, Mears, Sullivan and Andretti disappeared from the series, so too did interest and TV viewership plummeted.
Yes, Champ Car and the IRL have to amalgamate, otherwise one or both will fold. The Champ Car formula for 2007 is shaky at best and it's hard to have a lot of confidence in that `cheap' Panoz chassis that will be used; it seems to be little more than a beefed up Formula Atlantic car. This isn't going to attract TV audiences or increase race-day attendance. I think more of us would believe in Champ Car if they were honest about attendance, instead of posting those phony crowd numbers.
Down off the soapbox.

Race Me Safely
Car racing is a very empowering sport that makes you feel so much in control. The adrenalin rush you get is very addictive. However, you should never forget that racing is a very dangerous game. Speed is always dangerous, and accidents can happen in the blink of an eye.
Anybody who races cars as a hobby or in competitions knows the risks involved in this sport. Aside from the possibility of damage to the car itself, drivers could also suffer personal injury, which could lead to partial or even total disability. Death is also a possibility you can't ignore. However, if you are willing to invest your time, effort, and money to setup a power-charged car which you can race, then it surely wouldn't hurt to spend in life saving gears to ensure your safety while racing.
Never forget to always wear protective clothing and head-gear. High-speed racing is always full of pressure. We're not just talking about the pressure on the driver to come first, we're also considering the pressure building up within the engine and other mechanical or electrical parts due to speed. There is also the explosive nature of NOS to consider, as explosions are inevitable. In fact, explosions are one of the major accidents that happen during car races. Make sure you check your fire suit not only for tears, but also for the presence of any substance that could possibly void the flame-resistant capacity of the fabric.
Aside from your fire suit, always wear gloves and shoes that are flame-retardant for added protection. Use only helmets that have Snell Ratings, which means they have previously passed multiple impact tests. These are made using thicker material, and are more reliable during accidents. The fabric and paints used on these helmets must also be flame-retardant.
Check that the car's engine - including but not limited to its fuel lines, electrical wirings, and coolant overflow tank, make sure they are secured well and are all properly functioning. Closely inspect your seatbelt for wear and tear or any other defects. Make sure that the harnesses are functional and that the seats are bolted tightly.
Investigate under the hood of your car. Replace any weak hoses, search for cracks and have them repaired. Check the chassis as well, and search for visible wear and tear on any exhaust and suspension component.
Remember to properly mount the car's battery with all the terminals hooked up tightly. Your tires should have a tread depth of at least 3/32. Make sure the wheel studs are tightly fastened. If you have a nitrous oxide system (NOS), ensure that the bottle vent is to the car's exterior.
Never drive a car to race if you haven't practiced in it. Spend time getting to know the inner and outer workings of any new car first before the actual race even if you are an expert driver. This is due to the fact that each car can behave differently than each other, this is especially true for different makes of car, but can also be true for the same models of car.
Every one of us loves a good science fiction story, but the problem is that absolutely none of them hold up to scientific inquiry. This is the kind of press that inspires creationism & other irrational interpretations of history & pre history. If, this story had any truth to it, the area would be 35.2 feet deep in scientists & anthropologists.
