Empty Indy News Group - Time To Shut It Down?

 Looks like it's time to shut down rec.autos.sport.ind­y, nobody's posting
there anymore, just like the empty stands Inferior Racing League and Tony's
"Vision".

None of them will be missed.

They are camping out at the IMS ticket office, they want to make sure they
get seats to the five hunneret before they sellout.

You're a liar and a moron, there haven't been any new posts in RASI for
days, except for the ones laughing at the fact that there aren't any new
posts in RASI.

Blind and Dumb, you make an excellent servant to Tony and his "Vision".

You seem to forget that the only track to host the IndyCar Series and
OWRS in the same year enjoyed a far better crowd for the IndyCar
Series race.

What happened at some of the greatest road circuits in this country,
Mid-Ohio, Road America and Laguna Seca? Tell me about the big
crowds at these tracks, CHUMP.

So why should the IRL expect any better draw at these tracks?

The issue isn't whether OWRS or IRL draw more. The issue is that open
wheel's biggest event is held at a track that gets more intertest in its
NASCAR races that in its traditional showcase Indy 500 event.

You're missing the point completely. Open wheel in North America is
dead. Who cares if one series draws more than the other. The TOTAL
count is substantially down from the time BEFORE the split and the fans
are looking elsewhere. With the loss of fan support goes the loss of
media coverage and results in an erosion of sponsorship $$. The
in-fighting between the competing sanctioning bodies has alientated the
fans who are interested in racing, not pissing contests. Its doubtful
that those fans will return.

Those who feel differently seem to have the historically distorted
perspective of Stalin and the clarity of vision of Ray Charles.

The IRL hicks do. They define success only as being better than CART.
The TOTAL > count is substantially down from the time BEFORE the split and the fans > are looking elsewhere.

As long as CART doesn't run the Indy 500 again, the IRL hicks think
they're winning. The IRL could collapse and the Indy 500 could be a
NASCAR race, but as long as CART doesn't run the Indy 500, the IRL wil
think it won.

Exactly.

I'll be in Miami because of my love of open wheel racing.

Yep, and when I get you home from the taxidermist, you're going

 Is that supposed to bring on fear and trepidation on my part? If so
please wait while I stop laughing and clean up the Pepsi I spewed on
my screen.
