If someone was spending F1 money in CART, they'd have made McLaren's 1988 season in F1 look competitive, from the perspective of other teams winning.
(McLaren won 15 out of 16 races in the 1988 F1 season, and they only lost the 16th race because their car was taken out by a backmarker while leading the closing laps.)
Maybe Ganassi or Penske spent $15 or $20 mil for a two car team, in the 1999 to 2001 gravy days... and maybe Honda/Toyota spent $5 million on them... but that's not $50 million a year.
Heck, this season, I suspect they're spending $50 mil a year for the entire 18 car grid.
If Minardi came over to ChampCar with their budget they would dominate.
Putting "The Tick" on Thursday nights absolutely killed the show. It would have done far better if it had been put on Sunday nights, or even Tuesday nights, with an established show to help it finds its legs.
I recall a radio interview where Patrick Warburton talked about how the folks on the show had been told the show would be on Sundays all along... then the show was moved to Thursdays. His tone seemed to indicate that he didn't think much of the move.
As much as I'd like to see Comedy Central pick up the show, I'm not sure they can really afford a sitcom.
Now I just wish I'd taped all the episodes. Anyone have them on tape, or VCD?
