Yeah, they are all gay. Whinedretti is the worst of em. Paul Newman would never go to the Twirl, but rumors have Haas leaving OWRS. Hope they're wrong.

Dunno about cost. I would imagine somewhere around $300k per race, though. An Atlantic season is about $1.5mm, so I would imagine a CART car would be $4-$5mm or so per season.

There are lots of drivers to jump in cars, but no money to pay for them. If OWRS runs this year, it will be because the drivers have bought the rides. Look at Forsythe. That crummy bastard dropped Carpentier and brought on Lavin, cause he had Corona money. Forsythe didn't even tell Carp.. PT told him.

The state of OW racing in the U.S. is pretty bad. I wouldn't be surprised to see it completely gone in 2-3 years. The Idiot Grandson can't keep paying for all those cars to show up, and Toyota is heading to NASCRAP next year, so I doubt they'll be interested in the Twirl. I predict Honda will pull-out and put their money in BAR.
