As much as I'd hate to see a merger of the IRL and CART, the only way Open-wheel racing is going to return to it's glory, would be something like you proposed. Even half oval and half road/street courses would be fine with me. Tony George needs to realize that his vision of what he wanted the IRL to be, never happened and will never happen. Chris Pook and company, need to realize they need George, Penske, Ganassi and company to survive. With both groups putting between 19-22 cars on the track, think about a series with 30 cars, 24 to 26 tracks. It all makes to much sense to me, but that is why it'll never happen....
