From RPM Chat with Chris Pook.
Shaun Coleman: How can the fans of CART help the series prosper
Chris Pook: (1:30 PM ET ) 1. Continuing to support us. And 2. When the media do not provide fair reporting and conveniently leave out facts -- challenge them.
Chris Pook: (1:32 PM ET ) A good example was the Indianapolis TV media last night failed to report the huge crowd in Montreal for the first race their. They just gave the results and then in the coverage of the IRL in St. Louis, the inference was it was a most succesful day in spite of only drawing a very few number of people. The fans cannot underestimate how powerful they are and how their voices do count.
All we are asking for is fairness in the media.
In a prior post, Pook stated that Milwaukee was a good crowd and Chicago was "respectable"
. What was that about fairness and conveniently leaving facts out? The question related to what can fans do to help CART prosper and Pook takes shots at the IRL, big surprise. Some here question why IRL fans are obsessed with the other series. It seems as if Mr. Pook can't get two sentences out without mentioning (degrading) the IRL.
