Spastic_Rhino replied to Spastic_Rhino's discussion The Future of Indy Car?...... I Hope Not!!!!!"Michael: The whole point of this discussion was a pointed jab at those who implied they wanted a return to the cars of yesteryear. The title was a tongue-in-cheek comment on the fact that the majority of IndyCar fans have no interest in this…"

Michael Eugene Johnson replied to Spastic_Rhino's discussion The Future of Indy Car?...... I Hope Not!!!!!"Spastic, outside of 500 mile races(other than Indy) which I would like to see, or maybe another 1 mile oval, how is this racing any different than CART in the 90's? I think the racing is actually as good or better (my opinion) and…"
Spastic_Rhino replied to Spastic_Rhino's discussion The Future of Indy Car?...... I Hope Not!!!!!"What a nonsensical answer!!!!! I never said I wanted CART back!

Ring-A-Ding replied to Spastic_Rhino's discussion The Future of Indy Car?...... I Hope Not!!!!!"Listen to the people who know their shit, because apparently you don't.

Spastic_Rhino replied to Spastic_Rhino's discussion The Future of Indy Car?...... I Hope Not!!!!!"Did you even look at the links posted? Not a spoof at least according to USAC."
railroad replied to Spastic_Rhino's discussion The Future of Indy Car?...... I Hope Not!!!!!"I saw Silver Crowns at Kansas several years ago. They are surprisingly fast. Not IndyCar fast, but still, maybe 180 (nascar fast). Fast in the straights and braking necessary in the turns, no downforce to speak of back then. Too bad they're…"
mikew replied to Spastic_Rhino's discussion The Future of Indy Car?...... I Hope Not!!!!!"That car has an interesting history. It should be noted though that USAC has nothing to do with this car at this point.
