Tony Clifton should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
Forsythe lost what? 50 million on CART stock.
Lost how many tens of millions in the process of being a partner and buying CCWS and subsequently running Forsythe Racing from his own pocket from 2004 onward.

Forsythe, back when CART (circa 2000 or 01) was trying to figure out their future engine formula and considered going to a naturally aspired engine (rumor was to try and make a merger easier with IRL) was one of the VERY loud proponents for turbo engines and avoiding any type of IRL type specs.

Forsythe is not going Indycar racing because he lacks sponsors, that is the front story.
IMO Forsythe is not going Indycar racing because of his dislike of TG and the whole IRL formula and concept.

Forsythe has enough cash to run his race team from his own bank account with ZERO sponsors for as long as he likes.

IMO for Forsythe not going to Indycar is PERSONAL not business.
