It looks like after more years than most drivers will ever get to be at the top, Forsythe championship racing is out of business and Paul Tracy, the number one driver there finds himself out of a job and is scrambling to secure another seat.
This is a strange time for everyone that was a fan or followed the Champcar/IRL rift over the years.
Without much warning, Champcar hit the skids and finally gave into Tony George and the IRL,a more accurate description would be... rolled over and begged for mercy from George and his organization.
It's a sad day indeed and I for many years considered myself on the CART/Champcar side of the equation and find all of this quite surreal.
In the end even this diehard admits that it's time to bring the split to an end and restore open wheel racing to it's former glory in this country and give NASCAR some competition for sponsor dollars .
Now that the day has arrived that Tony George will dictate what open wheel racing looks like, he will hopefully have a balanced schedule that give fans a proper balance of road courses and ovals.
Just maybe this new merged series will resemble the cart of the 1990's.
