11 drivers, and that's being generous. The rest are just boys with rich daddies or uncles.

Shouldn't this be in the IRL forum? Or the Cart bashing forum?

It would be nice if people in this forum stood up for CART. If you guys want to bash a racing series, then why don't you bash the crapwagon series?

Too easy?
I mean, they only turn left, no one comes to see them, and most of their "stars" are backstabbing liars. I spend a lot of time and effort pointing out what I percieve as CART's problems because I care about it. Last edited by Lee Janotta; 29 Apr 2003 at 03:41. |

I gotta agree with Dov. The series is rebuilding and we need to stand behind it. It will have its share of so-so drivers when most the field are rookies. Some are good straight out of the barrell, some will mature, some will always suck and they will be replaced over time.
If we needed some feild fillers to stay alive, so be it. I'd rather have that temporarily than no CART forever. |

I should be able to stand behind the series, though, without standing behind Pook, Forsythe, or *gag* Bernie. Just like I stand behind my country without standing behind my President. They're completely different things.

Should rename this a "Cheerleader Forum" if you want to hail Lavin as the reincarnation of the Rodriguez brothers.

It's okay to criticize CART and Chris Pook for some of their choices...mandatory pit window, getting rid of road and oval cources and future engine specs. But constantly going after rookie drivers like Lavin and Yoong...I can't understand. We all no that these rookies aren't going to be future Zanardi's, Montoya's and Da Matta's, but Im just happy that we have 18 or 19 drivers on the grid. Look at how good Manning and Hunter-Reay are performing...imagine how much better they would be if they were driving Lolas. Once Bourdais gets settled down...he will be amazing to watch. Haberfeld...the future PT? In the next year or two we may see 1 or 2 guys step up to CART from Toyota Atlantic. We should also see some F3000, retired F1 and ex CART drivers come back to ChampCars in the near future. If you want to call me a CART Cheerleader...that's fine with me.

It's only fair that we say that - only about 10 of the field are as good as the guys we had challenging in 2000. The IRL also has only about 10 truly top-line drivers. We're not here to be cheerleaders. We're here to discuss what we see as the facts. And the fact is that the 'crapwagons' do at least hve good drivers and good racing, even if most would prefer if there were just one series, as the talent is being diluted. |

Of course we are here to discuss what we see as the facts, but does it make you and others in this forum feel big (important) to constantly attack certain drivers? The ALEX YOONG SUCKS thread was 9 pages long...give me a break! I find that immature. Hey BootsOntheSide...you like the IRL's brand of racing...that's because you stand on both sides of the fence.

He has to be a consertive. You're either with us or against us mentality. I don't know about you, but I don't blindly follow anything. I question things, it's in my nature. You can cheerlead all you want but untill Memo and Papis and other quality drivers get rides the system is broken. And for having feet on both sides of the fence, hey, I dig chicken but that don't mean I don't dine on some beef. Boots has every right watch what he wants when he wants to. This sounds like we're boycotting Frace.

Put a donkey in that PDM ca and it will go faster than Scott Mayer. In anycase Scott Mayer is not even going to be at Brands so I fail to see what dragging a mega-w*nker into this thread accomplishes anything. Just because Mayer can't drive doesn't make Lavin any better. Lavin still sucks.
Cut the ****, Dov. As long as the people posting here watch CART, it doesn't matter what else they watch or what side of the fence they are on. Just because others have a different opinion than yours don't make them anti-CART or the even lamer accusation of being an IRL fan, when the accused has exactly 0 posts in the IRL forums here! Besides, nobody said you can't be a CART cheerleader but it's not up to you to tell other fans how to be a fan. If you don't like what other people have to say about certain talent-challenged drivers then don't read the posts, as no one is forcing you to. |
