Well, what if we could go back to the CART of the '80s, or something like it? A lot of North American drivers, mostly lifers... Sponsors contracted to teams instead of individual drivers... Pocono, Pheonix, Cleveland, Long Beach, Indy, Michigan, Elkhart, Milwaukee, Laguna Seca... Cars that are a little slower, a little less powerful, a little less sophisticated, but can really race... Though not so handicapped by their aero packages as the current IRL cars, which also suffer from being just plain unattractive. Constant changes of position over 500 miles make the racing feel contrived, and you don't get the same sense of drama you do with a brilliant charge up through the field.
Neither series has it right, or has all the ingredients to make it right. But maybe we can make it happen working together. Tony George, Roger Penske, Chris Pook, and quite a few others will have to be locked out of the room during the negotiations, though.
