True - but if you do that you're not using the *** to the
manufacturer's recommendations. If you smoke the fags you are.

CART really needs to take up Ford's offer of a spec motor for 2003,
it's the only way the series will survive.

It'll be like McLaren in the late 80's of F1, with complete
domination. Hopefully it'll also spell the end of IRL and force a
reconciliation.

With the amount of people in here in favor of CART, you folks should post there
to help even out the doom & gloom...
(even if it's purty g'damn gloomy!)
Warlock!
I sometimes post in the autoracing1.com forum. But I've kind of
stopped reading the forums now since i'm so sick and tired of so
called CART fans who claim CART is dead, and at the same time sound
like they enjoy it. What kind of a fan is that ?

Or maybe they could form their own "backwards" series and run them all
in reverse. :P
After all, IRL is pretty backwards anyway :)

It's like the old saying, when enough people starts to believe
something it starts to be the truth. That's why I'm so glad Mark
Cippolini at Autoracing1.com is not taking part in the Robin Miller
sudden quest for CART's demise. It's a good thing someone tries to
stay positive, even there is not much to be positive about.
