Does anyone remember CART/Champcar?

Does anyone remember back in the 90's how CART was North America's premiere racing series? It was the series that had everything; oval and road/street course racing; all the big name sponsors; multiple tire, engine and chassis manufacturers and some of racing's best drivers. The Andretti's, Unser's, Fittipaldi's, Paul Tracy, Adrian Fernandez, Jacques Villeneuve, Nigel Mansell, Robby Gordan, Gil de Ferran, Helio Castroneves and like. This series was on par and perhaps even surpassed the excitement and prestige of Formula One. Then one day, Tony George owner of the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, decided to breakaway and create the IRL or Indycar Series. His reasoning was that there weren't enough American drivers in CART, he wanted a more "home grown" series. Yeah, that's why you're racing in Iowa now. Soon, CART lost it's viewers but never the excitement. Many viewers were split between CART and Indycar, all the while NASCAR became America's series. Hopefully with open-wheel racing reunited in America, it can return to the former glory that was CART.
RIP CART/Champcar: 1982-2007
Here's a tribute video:

Reunited? When did that happen?

Does that mean the Toronto Molson Indy is going to be a thing again?

Dude. I live in Toronto, I could just take a bikeride down to the exhibition grounds.

Or I could ride to the lakeshore, like I just said :p

You mean I won't be deafened if I go down there? LAME!

Well, that's just one more justification for my adherence to the lifelong principle that one should never trust anyone with two first names.

CART was awesome, for a while it was my favorite racing series.  Unfortunately I don't think it will ever achieve the status it once had due to all of the damage the IRL has done.
