Why would anyone want to race Indy Lights if even the champions can't get a full time ride? Poor ol' Matos could win Lights after the Atlantic title and still not get a ride? Not a good look.

AGR made the right move with A1GP. I have been telling racecarter that 26 IRL drivers will be begging Michael for the A1GP ride in 2010. Maybe TG can get INDY 500 as a A1GP points event. When will Gordon Lightfoot release his IRL song?

Where is the info on AGR and A1GP? Is this a rumor or just something that Miller "THINKS" will happen (not that I disagree with him)

I have been watching openwheel racing all my life. The one car owner that needs to go is ARG. Mike just cant makeup his mind which series he wants cars racing in from year to year. He is the Dan Marino of indycar . So long mike. take your bottle with you.

I hope that one of the "lower" teams well pick up one of the fine Atlantic drivers and at least give them a chance to show case what they have a build up their resume.

These ladder systems don't work unless there is some kind of guarantee that the champion of the series can move up to the next rung. Unless the top tier teams decide to run cars in the lower tier series hence developing their own "ladder" systems and grooming process, there's no reason why any development series champion can expect to move up without cash.

So IndyCar is going with 'red' tires. It's all so clear now that the wrong series folded. As far as the title sponsor is concerned, BFD. How much money will that bring in, $2/yr? That's less than half of what FedEx did 13 years ago.

TG must log-in and check out whst is being said. Next week they'll announce standing starts and push to pass. A couple of months later " hell those PANOZs are just sittin around lets use them, cause their cool looking. And lets add turbos,that will make the car sound and look cool. Then during the 2009 season they'll make the 2010 schedule, "we just added Indy, Texas , to Champ Cars 2007 schedule to make it easier. I'm sure glad IndyCar won the war. TG is a genius after all.

Hey Frentzen4ever , Micheal isn't gonna get 26 drivers begging to drive for Team USA. A1GP drivers drive for their country. Junky drove for Brazil a couple of times, Rahal drove for Lebanon. I think Manning drove for Great Britian. Went to A1GP race at Laguna last time and only time. Good racing everyone has the same car, lots of crazy passing in the rain. There was snow up at the corkscrew. Would love to see Katherine Legge{Great Britian}, Milka Duno{Venezuela} out there racing Danica on a level playing field. Herta was driving for Team USA for awhile , wonder if Micheals gonna ask him to drive or help the team out since he's got experience with A1GP. I believe they do standing starts, and with all the road/street courses, this could help Marco get to the BIG TIME, F1.
