It was CART and not the IRL who refused to race at Texas btw. Minor point....

Pardon me folks but it is the lack of interest toward the fans which puts the FIA at fault here. For those of you who are "Tunnelheads" you heard at least half a dozen workable solutions and none were acted upon. In many cases the FIA has modified rules for a particular situation but here they were as rigid as hell.

Smartest thing I have heard come out of this is that the CCWS (formerly CART) is honoring all Indy GP tickets for their Cleveland race. Could be the exact shot in the arm that they need right now. If Tony George had the sense to poor piss out of a boot he'd have done the same for all IRL road races next year.
