Pretty delusional.

Carey in Manvel always provides a juvenile rejoinder, right down to
his asinine self-absorbed sig.

I think it'll be like a wedding, with ushers seating fans in separate
grandstands.

I want to remind all IndyCar fans that when ChampCar finally breaths
it's last
breath we should offer our sympathy to their fans. We have to remember
that they
should have been in the IRL a few years ago. They left Indy, or was
kicked out, whatever. After the split ChampCar was the true IndyCar
series. Slowly but surely the IRL stole that
magic that ChampCar once had. The IRL slowly but surely became the true
IndyCars.

When ChampCar dies they will come back to where they belong - in the
IRL. They will be
coming home. This split was like Vietnam and America in the 1960's. A
sad war and a turbulent time. But the war is about over. The boys are
coming home. Saigon is falling. ChampCar will take its last step.

But the future is bright. The ChampCar drivers will add excitement to
what is already the
premier open wheel racing series in the World. The IRL will also add Long
Beach, the Australian race, and I'm sure get back to Canada for two races
a year. So the ChampCar drivers will feel right at home.

Yes, the IRL fans have a right to be upset over what could be
considered treason by
ChampCar. But I'm sure after ChampCar ends, their fans will ashamed of
what their series has done and not done over the years. Lets not lash out
at the ChampCar crowd. They will have
enough shame in their series to last a lifetime. We have to help them
ease the pain. What better way to ease their pain than to let the
ChampCar drivers race against the best race car drivers in the world -
wheel to wheel on an oval super speedway?

Remember - IRL = Dad and Mom. ChampCar = eighteen year old impetuous
son or daughter who thinks they can move out, keep a job, pay a car
payment, and pay rent and utilities, with ease, only to come back to Dad
and Mom in a few months. We have to accept them back.

This IRL vs. CCWS conflict is like two centegenarians waiting for each other
to die. Both are weak and hobbled, and no matter which survives, their
health will be very poor at best.

Carey from "I rule the world!"

Adolescent? In light of your post?

That's weak. I'd be so embarrassed to have posted such a piece of crap.
I just want everyone to know how humble you are. and What a pure
racing expert you must be.

All hail Carey, King of Touring Racing!!
