Couldn't agree more Glenn. I still follow Indycar and haven't missed a 500 since 1959 by either, radio, TV, or live. But the spec series concept has killed most interest for me and that part really got underway in the ISL days. NASCAR has the spec series problem too but now it is the better series by leaps and bounds. The high point for Indy ended by the late eighties, especially by the time they let the hottest open wheel driver of that time walk off to NASCAR. Nobody wanted Jeff Gordon.

I love Indy history and loved the roadsters, the rear engine revolution, all of it.....until the spec cars came along.   It won't be back to what it once was......more is the pity.
