OWRS group is determined to thwart Tony George's efforts
source: steve.ballard@indystar.com Paul Gentilozzi said Tuesday that he and Open Wheel Racing Series partners Gerald Forsythe and Kevin Kalkhoven emerged from two days of meetings prepared to do and spend whatever is necessary to get their offer accepted by the U.S. Bankruptcy Court in Indianapolis. "We're here for the duration. We're not at all intimidated," Gentilozzi said. "We have put thousands of hours into this transaction. We're not going to pack our bags just because some guy is looking to buy a few computers and trailers." Gentilozzi said he and his partners learned last week that IRL president Tony George had dispatched league officials to inspect the racing assets of CART. George visited CART's local headquarters Monday night. News of the IRL's interest became public late Monday. "Obviously, it caught me by surprise since Tony told me months ago he didn't plan to get involved," Gentilozzi said. "He obviously has one thing in mind: to close it down and get rid of the competition. This 11th-hour involvement doesn't seem very honorable to me."
