where do you keep getting this "less than 30k" attendance figure from?
The owner said 80K show up for the US GP. They say 30K came for indycar, not a chance of that. You tell me if indycar was only off by 50K. And it was like this all the way around the track.
I've been in, worked, driven apart of Indycar/CART/ChampCar for over three decades. I know the workings of things. And don't forget, the inaugural indycar race didn't even have a race presenting sponsor. And when year two comes, and the novelty wore off from the first year and less come, the series and track will be done in two years. Thats where this is headed, like countless others.
