mac, I think that you have a good idea as far as someone or some group with high integrity running the show. Macdaddy's point about how much some have invested so far is important as well.

As I see it, the whole thing is either going to have to go belly-up or come darn close to it before anyone will "do" anything such as look beyond their own balance sheet. The really big guys (Penske, Gerry, Kevin, Ganassi, Rahal, Michael Andretti) are all so diversified that they can do something else should the bottom drop out.

Once IRL/CC is staring at the abyss, then something will happen, something dramatic. At least that is what I am hoping. At that point a USAC could step in and hopefully get everyone to rally-round-the flag.

Of course, I have been wrong before....
