Tony Clifton should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
So lets turn back the clock and dream a little

If we could turn back the clock to say 1994 what could have been done to prevent the split which is ultimately killing CART/CCWS/IRL/USA open wheel racing?

I see the main problem being that team owners were also board members which did not allow for ONE person to make rules changes that were for the best of the sport.
CART's other big problem was that they did not have a CEO who was committed to the long term health of the series.
I would have also been against CART going public.

I do realize that TG created the IRL so that he could control open wheel racing in the USA and virtually ANYTHING CART did would not have satisfied him

I do not want to turn this thread into an anti-IRL thread, so please just constructive input here.
