Ok now what, is the IRL going to do for Honda? Will we get to start some kind of Honda/Chrysler, thread? Any ideas? Only two cars in the top 10 and one is 10th?

Honda and Toyota were very close horsepower-wise at Indy. The power is fine. Honda needs more teams and especially drivers that are capable of consistantly winning races. Right now, they are far behind Toyota in that category. AGR is one of the top teams in the league. But besides that, Rahal is a one car team. Fernandez is a one car team with a rookie driver. Ray is a one car team without the best Honda stuff.
Honda (I think) has learned their lesson this year and will have a much improved team/driver lineup next year.IRL 2009: "Cars you can't see, driven by drivers you have never heard of, on a network you don't get"
"I'd hire your grandmother, if she brought a budget"- Bankrupt Indy Car team owner Tyler Tadevic, to Curt Cavin in December, on the tough standards he looks for when "hiring" driver talent.

Keeping the Blair/Barron team together would have done Honda a lot of good this year, IMO.The transformation is complete. The Indy 500 is the only IndyCar race that matters.

My proposed multi-badged, spec, sealed engine is looking better all the time.
I see little point in having the manufacturers battle it out if the technology is just going to be wasted when the rules are turned back because the speeds are too high. That, and you are always going to face one manufacturer crying for a rules adjustment. Or someone squeeling about special treatment or special parts.
Just do away with it all. You don't see anyone.....anyone in cart crying about the engine on any level. The teams, drivers and fans have nothing to say about the engines except they are fast and reliable. No one is squeeling about special equipment or unequal breaks or any of that nonsense. They just plug the motors in and go race.
Is the racing about the motors or is the racing about the racing?
Of course, that's no good. There'de be one less thing to argue about at Track Forum."Is that my *** that I smell burning?" ... Helmet Stogie from "Death spasms of the Mabuchi"

most of the time you make good points Austin, this time you are so wrong, we need all the engine manufacturers we can get, I think I may have seen 100 of the Michael Andretti "why would you want to do that" commercials, and I still laugh. Every race week I look in USA TODAY for the Toyota full-page, you miss that because you don't read the papers.
NO spec engines, EVER.
How has that helped CART, engine manufactures don't want it either, they want someone to beat.
