AAR/Gainsco dream

Just a thought... with the new formula and chassis in 2012 how hard would it be for Gainsco to move up to Indycar.

Bring Gurney back into the fold with a Eagle/Dallara and get Ilmor or Cosworth to build a motor for GM. Have Gurney and Fogarty as drivers.... would be nice.

any thoughts.....

Cute idea, not even the slightest chance of happening. Dan Gurney has expressed disinterest, and the other parties (Bob Stallings Racing, GAINSCO, Alex Gurney, Jon Fogarty, and General Motors) have said absolutely nothing about the IRL; it's not an option for any of them.

And If I had $20M to bankroll that plan, my team would be in the pit box right behind them.

Right now, my team is three barn cats. Time to go feed them and watch prctice at Simo....uh, Sonoma.

Yes wnut, because I am that foolish.

Gainsco, on the other hand, would turn it into $60M by investing it instead of burning it.

$20M Wow.

Wish we had more people like you in the upper echelons of motorsport, enthusiasts and not just greedy, self interested, ........

Dietrich of RBR is one of the few. But few and far between!

He tried Indycar not that long ago. Developed his own chassis at first, did the yeoman work along with a couple other teams developing the new Toyota motor...then once the motor was mostly developed Toyota cut them off.
