Should They Put CART Before Horsepower?

While the L.A. Times sports section is quick to side with the Indy 500 by writing about how many drivers have qualified for CART’s U.S. 500 below the Indy 500 minimum qualifying speed of 220 mph, you should have also noted that CART, in the interest of safety for its drivers, every year tries to slow its cars down through changes in regulations and car specs.

Tony George says he wants to see Indy cars return to their roots of the old days. Well, those old days also included a lot of mayhem and deaths.
