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

Robin Miller: ANGIE: RP has a very selective memory doesn't he? Obviously, since he's still a major shareholder in ISC he knew exactly where the France family was going with Michigan, Fontana, Nazareth and Homestead. Nobody wanted to run Nazareth anymore, the CART cars were way too fast and the show sucked -- just like the crowd. Michigan had 78,000 people in 1995 and ISC did little or nothing to promote the last three 500-milers. Wait 'til you see the IRL ticket prices compared to CART's. Like Danny Sullivan once said, when the music stops, Roger always has a chair and he's doing what is best for Team Penske, just like always. I understand Marlboro wanting to be at Indy but you would have hoped Helio ran the IRL and Gil returned to defend his CART title.

Robin Miller: NELSON: Indy cars tried Daytona once and it was a disaster (one or two deaths). The CART cars are way too fast for that track or Talladega, although I understand the IRL might have considered Daytona during the past year or two. Those are stock car tracks -- not open wheel. Thanks for watching.

Robin Miller: BRUCE: No way CART will ever be allowed to sanction the Indy 500. It could be added as a points paying race like it was for many years but that still doesn't get around the tobacco legislation -- only one series can be chosen. Thanks for your support.

Robin Miller: SEAN: They will both play the good soldier but, naturally, neither wants to go down to Triple-A and quit road racing. But, right now, they have no choice unless maybe Ganassi buys out one of them to run in CART (not likely). Thanks for reading.

Robin Miller: MARK: I do like Foyt and we have a mutual fondness for giving each other a hard time. (LIke when he's making fun of CART for being a bunch of F1 wanna-bes and his driver is Eliseo Salazar or Marco Greco). He's one of the guys (along with Parnelli and Herk) who got me hooked on racing in the early '60s and, when he's not drinking that IRL Kool-Aid, he can be engaging and interesting as hell. Matter of fact, we spent a half hour shooting the breeze this morning. And, even if I didn't like him, I damn sure respect what he could do in a race car from 1958-78.

Robin Miller: MARK: I saw the same ad the other night and I'm trying to find out how it got on NASCAR's Web site. CART is clueless about a lot more than TV ads, unfortunately.

Robin Miller: CRAIG: You are very perceptive. The owners make the call 90 percent of the time and the CEO is merely a messenger in many instances. But if Chris Pook comes in and Gerry Forsythe rids the board of directors of car owners, things could change drastically -- if not for the better. Pook should have been picked a year ago because he could actually save this thing. Thanks for the kind words, I miss writing in The Star.

Robin Miller: TIM: They can, and probably will eventually, providing the CART specs are close enough to the IRL's. But Nissan may be going bye-bye in the near future and if John Judd or another manufacturer doesn't step in, not sure that Toyota and GM will supply everyone in both series, although they may have to. Toyota will drive up the price of going fast in the IRL -- immediately.

Robin Miller: AARON: If all the planets got aligned and CART was taken off the public market, it's feasible that there could be some kind of unified series with the IRL controlling the ovals and CART taking care of the road and street circuits. Pick the best 22 races from both and have at it -- with an oval track champ, a road racing champ and an overall champ. It's the only hope open wheel has.

Robin Miller: DOUG: I think people are dogging CART for dragging its feet in the engine rule department and for announcing a new formula without having any manufacturers at the press conference to confirm their participation. I believe CART wants to run 11,500 RPMs in 2003 and move to a 12,000 RPM rev limiter in 2004 to give the cars enough power for the road courses. There are a couple of other technical points that could also enhance the CART normally-aspirated engine.

Robin Miller: JIM: Depending on what happens in the next few months, it's possible that teams like KOOL Green and Target/Ganassi could be headed for the IRL in 2003 simply because they require American venues and get nothing out of the international schedule. That's the reality -- the sponsors have been loyal to CART since 1996 but that appears to be changing and 2003 is very much a wild card.

Robin Miller: JOHN: I don't think it would change the mind of 10 people. NASCAR is a religion and CART and IRL are preaching to empty churches (at least on most ovals).

Robin Miller: TOM: Good question and I asked that recently of an IMS VP and he said that hadn't been discussed. Then again, he simply may not have been invited to the conversation. It makes sense and Marlboro could have some extra money lying around since the IRL is cheaper than CART.

Robin Miller: TOMMY: You would hope Diz at least gets a decent ride at Indy but I don't know about Cheever's second seat, or if there is going to be one. If Diz had money, sure.

Robin Miller: BRIAN: Laguna might pack 'em in but I always heard Chris Pook wanted to do something in downtown San Francisco or maybe New York City. Don't know about those other three possibilities. China is supposedly interested in F1 and CART.

Robin Miller: CHARLIE: I've thought about it but I'd probably have to get protective custody if I told all the "true" stories. It's a thought, thanks.

Robin Miller: BRAD: I don't know how the Outlaws do on TV (a tuff sell on Sat nights) but I would think the exposure has been good for sprint car racing in general. But one series is enough.

Robin Miller: ANDREW: Sam Hornish definitely emerged as the IRL's newest star this past season after Sarah lost all her confidence and Junior is a shadow of his old self. But Fisher still gets the biggest ovations and sells the most T-shirts and she's only 21. She's got a future, with the right situation and engineer. There are a few guys in both series who need to either retire or head for Petite LeMans -- or get some more miles. Thanks for the vote of confidence but as much as I beat on those owners I don't think I'd get many votes.

Robin Miller: DAVE: Yes, that's what I've tried to tell a few IRL zealots. They don't want to see CART fold or most of their teams will get steam rolled and be out of action. I said if they thought the last two Indy 500s were bad, wait until everybody shows up.

Robin Miller: ALLEN: I hope so. As much passing as there was and as much as the fans seemed to like it, it's not racing when guys are riding the brakes and trying NOT to lead. Zanardi said it after the '98 Michigan 500 and I argued with him but, in hindsight, I think he's right. Even da Matta said winning that race didn't give him the same feeling that Australia did because so much luck is involved and where you are with two laps left.

Robin Miller: KEN: Several people wondered out loud why CART didn't simply adapt the F1 engine specs and see how many might be interested. I never heard a definitive answer but it probably makes too much sense.

Robin Miller: HARRY: I've tried to pry that info out of Gil but, alas, no luck as yet. Trust me, when he signed on with Penske he didn't dream he might be heading for the IRL in his third year. Ditto for Castroneves. They don't want to leave CART, but.......

Robin Miller: ROBERT: That's what I count, 18 to 20 cars, max unless CART spends some of that $140 million it's got in the bank and props up a couple teams to keep them running two cars. The other concern is what kind of car count is guaranteed to the promoter. You can have a good race with 18 cars, providing the quality remains.

Robin Miller: ALF: Nothing at the moment, just waiting to see who Ganassi's second shoe will be and if Rahal runs two cars and who Foyt will hire. Las Vegas and Miami are still being considered for CART, or so I'm told. The IRL sked is set.

Robin Miller: JEFF: I was told Tommy priced himself out of Trans Am and television (I thought he was excellent on TV) and hopefully he'll be back some day. Thanks.

Robin Miller: DOUG: Pook scared the owners because he's smarter than they are and knows how to make things happen. He's back in the picture because Vannini and Forsythe both want to blow up the board of directors and throw the owners off, which would open up the opportunity to hire Pook -- the man who should have gotten the job last year. Don't know much abut Vannini, he's 39 and driving Barber Dodge.

Robin Miller: CRAIG: No, I don't think you'll ever see Unser driving for Penske again, it's a long, involved story that I can't get into at the moment. Miller wants to be at Indy and in CART, just not for as much money as years past. De Ferran wants to stay in CART (just like his crew) but it's not gonna happen unless Honda can save the day.

Robin Miller: CHRIS: I can't see those tracks being re-configured but if they listened to the drivers and did away with the restrictor plates, it might be just fine. Air jacks make too much sense, just like helmets for pit crews. They'll kill somebody and then make it mandatory.

Robin Miller: KATHY: Michael isn't the guy who took our breath away 10 years ago but he's smarter and smoother than ever before. I was actually disappointed he didn't win more and qualify better. Indy was his strongest race of the year, too bad he didn't win. thanks for your support.

Robin Miller: JOHN: No, that's IRL/ISC territory but it's a great facility.

Robin Miller: BOB: Ganassi is trying to get Stewart for 2003 but for his Winston Cup team, although I'd much rather see him come back to open wheel where he belongs. But at least he'll be back here next May for Ganassi.

Robin Miller: DAVE: The crowds continue to dwindle and the races are awful, nobody can pass and everyone runs the same speed - the cars have outgrown the track. It's a beautiful track but it needs a couple of passing zones.
