CART in 05

[turn7marshall]

Champ car racing is still putting on a good show, and CBS has/will cary some of the races. I hope the future is good for CART, but two openwheel series may streach out the crowd.

IRL is starting to do street (road) racing, but oval track is still their mainstay. CART drivers racing at Indy may bring the two series togather, but I want a good road racing series to be part of a murger.

well i think its bound to happen that IRL will buy out CART, and tho i like both series, i think it would be better for the series and i want it to happen. afterwards hopefully the series would be a pretty even split of ovals and road racing, which could suit people that prefer either, i know for me that would be an ideal series.

There is no such thing as CART any more, it is now CCWS(Champ Car World Series). That's like calling NASCAR Nextel Cup, Winston Cup.

What a joke the San Jose race was, 8 cars finish. MotoX jump over railroad tracks & NO passing. If there is one thing I don't like in racing is temp. street courses.

Well designed tepmorary street courses are good for many reasons, but there is only one street course I can think of in the last 20 years that was more poorly designed than San Jose (Miami with ALMS, 1.1 miles and a jump comparable to the one in San Jose). The idea was good, as shown by the attendance, but the execution was terrible.
