Internal growth is key number two after stealing a major series sponsor away from Tin-top taxi cab series and letting it fall apart like a house of cards on a windy day- die Nascar, die!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25142730.post-49106829803760749002008-07-16T12:18:00.000-07:002008-07-16T12:18:00.000-07:00Seriously, though.

If Forsythe really does run a Lights program in 2009, as a precursor to running an Indycar program when the new chassis goes live, who is left to fly the Crappies' flag? Paulie G?<BR/><BR/>It's not a huge deal, except that it would finally get everyone under the same proverbial tent. There would be nobody except the aforementioned Paul Gentilozzi out there thumbing his nose. Gotta be some good karma there.<BR/><BR/>As for Atlantics, I'm reminded of a Tony Cotman remark from a couple of months ago. He said they were looking at ways to better integrate the open wheel ladder system to provide a clearer pather to Indycars for aspiring American drivers. It would start with the driving schools' series, progress through Formula BMW and Star Mazda, and then on to Indy Lights and Atlantics, and then to Indycar. I think adding Atlantics to the fold would be great, if this opens the door. Make one of the two a bit more expensive than the other, add pit stops, and make it a two-tiered feeder.Fred Hurleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03379706257551429697noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25142730.post-49242453608211526812008-07-16T06:51:00.000-07:002008-07-16T06:51:00.000-07:00"My Name is IRL-lites" would be the first team wit..."My Name is IRL-lites" would be the first team with a rocking hospitality tent, huge following, and really hot pit girls -but no cars!
