If I'm TG (or his staff), I'd deal with race teams wanting to enter the series, not The Amigos. He doesn't need what they own. He needs what the car owners own.

Not really. What TG offered doesn't really offer much to the champcar side. It's like he's doin us a favor by taking a few races off our hands and making available some engines and cars. Not much really towards all the investment that has been made on the champcar side and it's teams.
The problem with tg is that he has always treated the cart side as a non entity since 1989. I say put the ego aside for once. You have a race series that has lost money since 1996. You have a sparse field this year with 2 cars you directly fund yourself. You are going to have to dig up 15+ cars to fill the indy grid. Time to let go. He acts like he is the only one with a stake in this whole deal. MEMEMEMEME.
What is the opposition to forming a totally new race series not run by any current owners?
