Thanks to Don Panoz, professional sports car racing faces its brightest future in years. There s a ticking time bomb in there, though. Almost all of the things which will make racing successful are being funded strictly from Panoz personal resources. When the day comes that Panoz goes elsewhere, either because his interests change or he s no longer with us, there appears to be little in place to continue funding the series at its present level. Also lacking is an obvious successor to Panoz, one who shares his vision and his ability to get things done.
Nothing beside remains.
Round the decay Of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare, The lone and level sands stretch far away.
