To that end, the CART board of directors has been meeting to discuss plans for the engine formula, but have not yet come to a conclusion that they can vote on. I think in the end, the right thing will be done. Some people may not like it a hundred percent, but, you know, not everybody gets everything they want all the time. Most of these manufacturers are used to rules changing dramatically. Formula 1 does it quite often.
Nobody ever seems to say a thing.
The one thing that most everyone seems to agree on is that change is needed. Dropping the boost was effective at first as it went from 40 inches to 37, but dropping it to 34 and lower gets the numbers so close to atmospheric norm that it defeats the purpose of having a turbocharger. CART recognizes that fact as well, but the series is taking great pains to fully explore every option before it makes its move. The new spec is slated to be invoked for the 2003 season, which is not as far away as you might think when development and research needs are factored in. So if you look at when's the next window of opportunity for change, you would have to say that 2003 looks most likely as to when.
