Sorry I do not empathize with you. These people that supported the hulman georges made their bed and now they have to sleep in it and apparently they don't like it all that much. Boo Hoo.

You wouldn't have anything to worry about, if the series actually had a leg to stand on, but clearly a lot of people are dissatisfied and a lot of these egomaniacs running the show don't understand it's a strong, happy fan base that drives success and revenue. If the hardcore formula car fan is ticked off you can only imagine how turned off the general public is and it shows in the nonexistent tv ratings and circus like attempts to try to find venues to run at and having their franchise fee savaged.

Rather than whinging about people who you don't like what they say, craft your own arguments to describe how wonderfully fantastic this indy racin car series is and debate the point.

The history books show what worked and what did not work and I and others many, many, many times have hammered home points about that and it's been ignored. The car is a back room deal, cut price profit in the right pockets, dallara dog turd, the venues and race meetings are haphazardly and poorly run pathetic events, the series has always lost money(even the announcement earlier this year they made a "profit" in 2011 was a sham), the indy 5 hunnert even has tons of bare aluminum in the bleachers, the drivers are completely unknown and many are of dubious talent.

If this business was out there in the real world and was not leeching off of the family business, it would have been stone dead many years ago. Only the largesse and big ego of the hulman georges keeps it going. Not one thing else. If that tap is turned off this series is like a fart in the wind and gone by tomorrow. It's an appallingly run series.
