Default What happened to CART

What happened to the CART races? I spent the day at Laguna Seca with the CART Series. No one was there. After attending races at Laguna Seca for over 15 years and it was the smallest crowd that I have ever seen for any event. There are maybe four hospitality tents with no one there. No sponsors, no crowd and very few cars. The Indy lights had like 9 cars running. I didn’t count but about 15 Dodge Barber cars, there used to be over 30.

There is no Marlboro, no Miller light, no Texaco, and no Bud cars. A bunch of foreign sponsors, Corona and Players and some I have never heard of. What's with a HMO (Pacific Care) being one of the fastest cars? I thought the HMO's were going broke, not sponsoring cars. It is no wonder this series is failing.

Anyway the racing was fast, as fast as Mario, Bobby Rahal and Unser. The weather is perfect. My private race. It will be fun again tomorrow.
