Letter: Fan chokes on IRL series

Friday, Oct. 1, 1999 | 2:03 a.m.

The biggest reason that the Indy Racing League is not received well ("IRL is MIA with race fans," Sept. 24) is that for hard-core open-wheel fans like myself, it was virtually shoved down our throats.

Want to see how much clout we have? Check out Cleveland. I don't care how much spin the IRL wants to put on that fiasco. The IRL was not allowed in and CART was courted to return because 100,000 of us will not spend millions in that city to see a series that was shoved down our throats.

For what it's worth, I did like your article.
