Nope -- still there. It does sound a little like Robin's imagination

or a bad source since Boy George is protesting so much, but there is a
saying about that.

Release from IMS:

At a regular meeting of the board of directors of the Indianapolis
Motor Speedway on Tuesday, May 26, board members asked Tony George,
chief executive officer of the IMS companies, to devise a plan for
management of Hulman & Company, the Indy Racing League, Clabber Girl
and the Indianapolis Motor Speedway that would allow him to focus on
the business which requires the greatest attention. This plan is to be
presented to the board at a meeting later this year.

IMS Chairman of the Board Mari Hulman George said: “There was a
general discussion about the challenges and opportunities facing all
of our companies and where most of our energies need to be spent. All
of our properties are doing well, given the challenges of the current
economy. The Indy Racing League represents our greatest growth
opportunity and therefore deserves the most attention at this point.”
