From my perspective, "everything used to be better" is not true. Though, I have watched a ton of races from the 90s and definitely enjoyed them.
Anyway, all I was trying to say was Indycar has to get creative when trying to attract potential fans.

No, it wasn't directed to anyone specifically.
I started in 1998 when - as I said earlier - Finnish channel 4 had late Sunday night live coverage. Somehow it actually was better then; 2,65 litre methanol engines, long wheelbase Swift/Reynard/Lola chassis, two Canadian rounds plus Japanese and Australian rounds. And tobacco sponsorship (equals money).
But when I take the pink glasses off, I also remember there was lots of underlying problems, mostly related to the unnecessary IRL/CART split.

Alright, maybe it's time to quit.
