Its the same outcome for the teams like DCR and AA.
It appears that there is a separate agenda against Texas which crash damage is being used to push such an agenda |
Let's see, disregarding tweets shows you're clueless or intentionally pigheaded about modern communication. Sorry that doesn't fit your idea of journalism but professionals do release information that way.
And no, it's not an anti-texas stance. It's a stop ignoring the fact that millions were lost because the cars and ESP the tires were not suited to the track. A FACT that has been known since last year, Firestone could not retest to gather more data and the cars could not be driven as they should. Management decided, because they like that a$$hat of a promoter at TMS, that he race shall go on. No, no it shouldn't. Texas has always been a crap race, the first year drivers had medical problems and vision problems for weeks after the race. Everyone knew the tires would be destroyed but they pushed on, everyone knew the track would not be conducive to pack racing, a lost art in open-wheel as it is, with these cars. High banked ovals are not what these cars do but this obsession to run them and WASTE money shows cluelessness and a personal ego stroke fest for upper management. There were probably more people at the Taco Bell in Indy that night then at Texas but they go back. It has never had the attendance of PIR so why waste the effort.
And why can we not decide one is worse than the other?? NO ONE said PIR wasn't a waste. Texas was a waste beyond all measure and the dumbest thing Indycars have done since listening to Tony George.
