I don't care about the arguments and the who did what to whoms.
The time has come - this has to get done, and it has to get done now.
Stick Kalkhoven and Forsythe on the board, give them $50 million as a compromise and let's get on with it for crying out loud.
Let me re-ignite my dream:

Chip Ganassi Racing

Obviously there wouldn't be 31 cars on the grid, but it shows how much depth of talent could be instantly created - particularly when you throw guys like Wilson, Doornbos and Perrera in there who are yet to finalise deals.
And what about the calendar!?!?
Homestead
St Petersburg
Long Beach
Kansas
Indy
Milwaukee
Texas
Iowa
Richmond
Watkins Glen
Toronto
Nashville
Edmonton
Mid-Ohio
Kentucky
Infineon
Belle Isle
Chicagoland
Motegi
Surfers Paradise
Mexico City
It's also unlikely that there would be 21 events through the season, but you can see how good a calendar could be created.
The series would instantly become one of the world's great motorsport spectacles.
DO WHATEVER IT TAKES!
