If we unify, it won't be with the management of either series remaining much intact. The impetus has to come from the fans, the promoters/venues, and the team owners. Tony George needs to be dumped in Lake Michigan, Pook needs to go back to what he's good at, being a promoter, and guys like Mario, Emmo and Foyt have to provide the leadership. Maybe Pook can be kept on as a Bernie of sorts, handling the business side, but not in the leadership role.
CART has great venues, though, and credibility the IRL just doesn't. Promoter IMG were nearly run out of town here when it was leaked that they were negotiating with the IRL! Clevelanders demanded CART, and I'm sure it's the same in many other cities.
