3. Bzzzt Wrong!
at least as far as the fans go. Go to an IRL fan site like trackforum sometime & its full of freepers. Who else but a republican would think that going round an oval without ever even having to lift off the throttle for the corners is "racing"?

I'm not a NASCAr fan but I think Dale Earnhardt Jr. took his entire crew to see F 9/11. Tony George and Roger Penske are big time republicans too:

Mr. Anton H George

Mrs. Anton L George

Mr. Roger S Penske

IRL is the one where they don't race in an oval track.

17. CART is as good as dead. Really sad.
BUt since IRL is taking to road courses, I can live with its demise. IRL has now fully become what CART was.

18. Nah
The IRl is becoming a pale shadow of what CART was in the early 90s, but minus several million fans, world class status, millions of dollars of sponsorship money and a whole boatload of respect.

14. Helio rocks.
But we don't have racetracks in Niterói. You may be thinking Jacarepaguá.

And yes, I'm Brazilian. How did you guess? :silly:
