Good point. But I really like the idea of people getting a refund and forgetting about lawsuits. If Max Mosley can forgive, anybody can.

As much as I would agree - the litigious US society is out of control - it’s very hard to forget several thousand dollars many spent to travel, stay and purchase an Indy F1 ticket.

For many thousands of people it’s not just 1 or 2 hundred dollars.

And I have a very large problem with the Speedway and Michelin setting up an automatic system that also automatically cuts you out of any potential lawsuits. It’s nothing more than a scheme cooked up by their shysters to limit their financial responsibility.

Hey, it’s Mr. Snap-On, otherwise known as the tool! Let the fans get what they can with the least amount of aggravation. And there WILL be a race at Indy next year and for years to come. Does anyone think TG can just walk away from the millions he invested to install the F1 circuit? I don’t think so!

And you’re just upset ’cause you didn’t pick-up on the Dupasquier story!

Oops, you caught me George!

Actually I did see the story, I just thought “Dupasquier” was some kind of Jacques Villenueve sex aid and passed it by
