The CART schedule is now up to 20 races with rumors of more to be added in the near future.
Do you feel that the rapid expansion of the schedule will cause competitiveness to decrease as
the crews and drivers get overworked and possibly burnt out?

CART considers a Brazilian race to be very important for the
continued growth of the sport. Brazil is supposed to have a great following for CART. Yet,
for three years, no matter what is tried and how many excuses are made, the Rio race has been a
failure both attendance wise and financially. The previous promoters "skipped town," and
CART had to bail the race out at the last minute. With Emerson Fittipaldi in charge, it may get
better. But, is this the last chance for Rio? Should CART dump Rio once and for all?

JUNE, 1999
Should CART once and for all take their gloves off and go after
the IRL full steam? Forget any reconciliation talks and treat this like an all out war such as
putting on a major event Memorial Day weekend, perhaps finding another major network to back this
effort, etc.? Or, should they continue to try to mend fences with IMS?

Andrew Craig has come under fire for some of his moves and decisions
in the previous few years. Not the least of which was the role he may or may not have played in
the loss of the Cleveland race. However, if the owners were really disappointed with him, they
would have replaced him. Do you think Andrew Craig has been good or bad overall for CART during
his tenure?

It has just been announced that PJ Jones will be replaced
at Patrick Racing. Was Patrick fair to Jones in light of PJ having to deal with a Swift
chassis that had given others headaches and that his teammate is not driving the same chassis and
thus cannot help with feedback, or did Jones fail to live up to his expectations and should have
been let go?

An essay has just been posted on Deep Throttle that says
CART should race at Indy. Do you agree or disagree with
this position? Will it be more beneficial to CART or the IRL if this happens? Could it actually
spell the end of CART or the IRL?

NOVEMBER, 1999
After the tragedy at Fontana, many people have been searching for
the reasons behind it. And there have been a lot of facets of the situation that have been
mentioned. One of which is the Handford Device and the possibility that it causes the cars to
be too loose at such high speeds on the superspeedways. In retrospect, is the Handford Device
more trouble, safety wise, than it is worth? Or, is it being wrongly used as a scapegoat?

Now that we have left the 1900's and entered the 2000's (we'll
leave the debate about when the decade/century/millennium ends/starts for other web sites), let's
play a fantasy. What is the one thing you would like to see in racing in the future?

What do you think Gerald Forsythe is up to buying large quantities of CART stock? And as a
side question, what was the real reason Forsythe parked his satellite team for this season?

SEPTEMBER, 2000
A multipart question. Now that CART has announced a ban on all in-season testing, is this
really good for the sport? Will it raise DNF's as teams are not quite prepared for races? Will
the four hours of practice the first day make up for it? Do you, the fan, really want to see just
one qualifying session on the road/street circuits? And will this hurt up and coming drivers
trying to find a ride once the season starts because they can no longer show their stuff during
testing? Will this better the racing because the teams will devote all their energies towards the
race weekend and not be tired out by all the testing? Will we get to see more races added this way?

DECEMBER, 2000
In Deep Throttle's Postseason
Thoughts, it was mentioned that perhaps one of the reasons for waning TV ratings is that there
are too many races, and the casual fan, not able to keep up, instead throws his hands up and gives
up trying to follow the sport. Do you agree or disagree that a too long season hurts CART trying
to attract/retain new fans because of this saturation theory?
