Check out what questions RPM.ESPN.com users had for Robin Miller -- and Robin's answers.

Robin Miller: Keith: First off, thanks for the kind words. As for Reynard and Lola, it seems like a natural for them to build an IRL chassis, it's still the biggest race in the world and they obviously need as much revenue as possible. Especially Reynard (in big financial trouble I hear) and there's a chance CART could adopt a chassis rule similar to the IRL. As for engines, Audi keeps surfacing on the rumor mill but that's about it.

Robin Miller: Greg: Thanks for you comments, hosting a show is something I'd like to try so maybe I can make it happen someday. Northern Light is in financial hell and hasn't spent a penny marketing the IRL all season. Pep Boys and Northern Light, the IRL is 0-for-2 in title sponsors, but I'm sure somebody else might come along since the Indy 500 is part of the package.

Robin Miller: Steve: There hasn't been a good race at Laguna in four years because the cars are all so close that there is literally no passing. Now it may be aerodynamics and the wing package, but Laguna is pretty tight with few overtaking possibilities. It's a beautiful circuit but attendance has been steadily dropping and I think The Glen would be very successful. It's CART's one chance to out-draw NASCAR at the same track. You're right, most street circuits offer little passing opportunities but the crowds are so strong it's a tradeoff that CART must live with. Thanks.

Robin Miller: Mike: I've championed Sam since last year when he was with PDM, both in my old newspaper, The Indianapolis Star, and on RPM2Night. Maybe you just missed those shows. But when I was at Vancouver for the CART race recently, I did a short editorial on Sam's championship. He's young, aggressive and talented. I wish he could get a good CART ride because I think he'd be a real asset. Thanks.

Robin Miller: Jim: True, I've been pretty critical of CART's decision making the past couples years but they deserve it and that hasn't detracted from my stance that CART is the best racing series on this planet. I said that last Saturday on RPM2Night from England. Check out ESPN.com and read the story I wrote from the England race. My position is that I have a great passion for open wheel racing and it's my job to report, critique and comment on CART and IRL. I don't care if anybody likes me, but I do believe most people trust me to tell the truth. It's cost me a lot of money and friends the past few years but I'm not about to change.

Robin Miller: Don: They could barely make it work at Atlanta for all those years. Their best option would have been to cancel the race, refund the money and make a big donation to the Red Cross instead.

Robin Miller: John: Loudon in 1993 was the scene of one of CART's great races (Mansell, Tracy and Fittipaldi) and there were 45,000 or so a couple of years but the owners felt like it wasn't enough (Until they drew 5,000 every year for the IRL). It's always a possibility and I'd like to see it happen if Watkins Glen can't be revived.

Robin Miller: Mike: I don't hate the IRL, I hate the basis it was formed on and the fact Tony George diluted the Indy 500 and fractured open wheel racing. The IRL has some good people but let's get serious -- it's a spec series with big wings and low horsepower so anybody can drive the cars, be it a dentist or a slug like Marco Greco (former IRL pole winner). Sure, it's had some exciting races but no more so than CART at Michigan the past four years. Ovals are definitely more fun for the spectator but the CART series requires so much more talent. I'd love to see Sam Hornish come to CART and Buddy Lazier get a good ride and maybe somebody bring Sarah Fisher along (Toyota Atlantic) and get her involved. The IRL is basically a feeder series for CART (Kenny Brack) and NASCAR (Tony Stewart). Going to the IRL (Unser Jr.) is like going to the minors. Look at Indy the past two years. Enough said.

Robin Miller: Daniel: Thanks for your support. I think it's good for everyone to go ahead with whatever was planned, you can't let terrorism continue to disrupt our society. I realize Montoya may be the only guy who really wants to come here and the track sucks for road racing, but it's still the third largest crowd in motorsports and I've always liked F1.

Robin Miller: Adam: Thanks for noticing (could you please come to Indy and tell that to some of the IRL zealots I see on the street?) I don't think the IRL doesn't anything better than anybody else, I think it's pluses are cost control and spec racing that makes for close racing. I liked the fact they passed out IRL hats at St. Louis to every fan, very smart, and they do a better job of promoting their drivers than CART.

Robin Miller: Sam: Excellent question. CART had a full page ad ready to go in USA Today congratulating its drivers for their performance at Indy but one owner or sponsor shot it down (my guess is Penske and Marlboro) because he didn't want to rub it in Tony George's face. Can you imagine, George has been trying to bury CART for five years and you don't want to rub anything in his face? That made me crazy and that's why CART spins its wheels so often. Why did they have to get Penske's or anybody's permission to run an ad? It was a helluva triumph -- kicking butt with the other guy's equipment. You haven't noticed Tony George promoting the Indy winner at his races the last couple years, have you?

Robin Miller: Jerrold: I think you might need to apply for a job with CART marketing because you get it. CART is the best kept secret on this planet and for all those years it was about the owners and not the drivers. CART needs more specialty shows on television to educate the normal Joe on who these guys are and what they do. NASCAR has been masterful in that regard.

Robin Miller: PJ: Whomever brings him money. Honest. I think Tony George might have helped Foyt financially to run Beechler and now is making sure Greg Ray has a ride for Texas because Eddie Gossage bitched about not having anything to promote. I'd day Donnie is a good shoe but likely needs to win the lottery to keep his job in 2002.

Robin Miller: Doug: I keep telling Kenny Brack that NASCAR will not embrace a Swedish, open-wheel guy with blonde hair who plays in a rock band. No, I don't foresee any foreign manufacturers simply because the racers of that bunch are either in F1 or CART -- or both for the technical challenge.

Robin Miller: Slim: Greg has had a few concussions, hasn't he? No, I would be really surprised to think any CART teams made him an offer. It makes good reading though, doesn't it? I could see Hornish getting a shot, at least I think he could handle it. I'd like to see Buddy Lazier in a good CART car since he never had one before. Scott Sharp? He was a dud in CART in 1994 but that team was new and so was he. Could he cut it? Maybe. I just don't see it by next year for all of this trio.

Robin Miller: Stephen: I think that was like the women's program CART had. It sounded like the right thing to do and made for good press. I don't care what color you are, if you can drive, you will gravitate up the ladder and someone will give you a chance. Willy Ribbs certainly had the talent, he just got hooked up with some bad equipment in CART. To answer your question, it's in the closet.

Robin Miller: Joe: There is talk that CART may be back in Motown (ugh). Not at that hole, anywhere else might be OK since Michigan is gone from the sked. An airport, an oval, anywhere would be fine except Hell's Belle Isle.

Robin Miller: Jeff: Absolutely, I know his team manager has been talking with IRL teams about a co-op program and his sponsors are interested.

Robin Miller: Jim: I think CART has plans in that multi-channel area but the tough part is getting SpeedVision to all the right markets. Milwaukee doesn't have it, for one, and there are only 40 million homes compared to 90 million on ESPN. That hurts but Joe Heitzler did good to get what he did considering CART's ratings the past few years. I've always been one of Page's biggest critics and it's time for a change in the booth. But, having said that, announcers won't fix .08 ratings. The whole TV package needs an overhaul and I think it will get one.

Robin Miller: Mark: I can honestly say I have no clue about that anymore. I heard in England that the only way Audi would be interested in CART was to stay turbocharged but that doesn't help anybody like Ford or Honda at Indy. I just wish somebody would make a decision and get on with it.

Robin Miller: Don: I realize that's a stretch, but I have to laugh when Tony George is gong to spend $15 million for a feeder system for the IRL. The IRL is a feeder system, the few guys who make it out go up in their career and the guys (like Unser) who are heading the other way. Hornish certainly would be somebody who I'd like to see get a good CART chance. Thank you. Check out my latest story on Zanardi on RPM.ESPN.com.

Robin Miller: Adam: Yes, CART needs several swift kicks in the head and butt for some of the dumb things its down on the past couple years. The European races were a big success, despite the weather and leaky track and lack of practice. I don't know if CART gave up on Michigan or Michigan (read NASCAR) gave up on CART because the IRL made them a much better financial chance. Just send CART letters and emails and vent whenever you can. I hope I can continue to cover racing for RPM and ESPN.com, they've been very supportive and given me two great forums. thanks.

Robin Miller: Mike: Yeah, bring 'em to Elk Lake and then Milwaukee. That's what I'd pay to see.

Robin Miller: Robert: I talked to Mark last weekend in England, he's trying to line up an Indy 500 ride and wants to go back to testing F1 cars in addition to staying in sports cars. He was a good racer caught in a bad situation, I agree.

Robin Miller: Tim: Not blow the doors off, but maybe able to compete. Montoya says Franchitti is the only CART driver currently ready for F1 but maybe a Buddy Rice in a couple years with the right training. I think Rahal's goal was to get a Yank in a Jaguar car but that ain't happening now.

Robin Miller: Jim: NASCAR can do whatever it wants because it always has and it works.

Robin Miller: John and John: I didn't get it yet but thanks for the thought. Sure, I'd love to run CART but I don't think the owners would go along with that plan. thanks anyway.
