and if they went there and won it would make IRL look like amateurs. Better chance of total peace in the Middle East next week.

With the new spec cars, the logistics seem even worse.

If they merge, what would they do with all those new cars?

They could run the Panoz DP01 for a season and then expand.

Honda Performance Development's Robert Clarke (behind the Acura P2 program) wants a merger.

IRL has a contract with Honda through 2009, iirc.
