Probably OT (at least for dog
) but it does have a significant effect on the IRL so I put it here.
Seems all the pieces of the puzzle are coming together. CART teams will be able to cross over relatively easily. On the flip side Indy Racing teams can ALSO do the same, should they chose.
Additionally, although I'm sure this wasn't an intended effect
, should there be a desire to "merge" in some fashion, equipment is no longer an impediment.
Some might say this is a bad thing for Indy Racing, and I'd admit I in part might feel somewhat the same, but the reality is it is overall good for the sport of open wheel racing . . .
CART board opts for IRL-type car
