Any open wheel racing fans here? Found this on espn.com
The Indy Racing League and the Champ Car World Series signed a deal Friday to unify the two American open-wheel circuits, bringing them under the umbrella of the IRL.
It will probbably be good for the sport in the long run, but right now as a long time CART/Champ Car fan i think it sucks. I hate the Dallara chassis, i'm going to miss the beautiful sound of the Champ Car turbo engines, and worst of all the Grand Prix of Cleveland is no more. We've been going to the GP of Cleveland since 96. Such an amazing unique track, i hope they find a way to get it back on the schedule one of these days.
I know we've been to Ohio and I know we've never been to Toledo, and i know i've never smiled while wearing a speedo.

    This will be my first race in person, I'm pretty pumped. I have to load up on red tees, jackets and sneaks though. Anyone know what kind of merch they sell at the races?

    I agree completly. It's going to be hard for me to support anything that King Tony controls. I think back to the early 90's, that's when i became a huge CART fan, i don't think we will ever see those days again. It's sad. I hate Nascar, somewhat follow F1, not sure where i'm going to get my racing fix anymore. May have to start following ALMS more.

    Totally agree. I've hated that asshat since he fucked up IndyCar racing with his stupid IRL.

    I loved seeing the ChampCars in Assen - be it that the circuit's a total and utter bore. It was designed for motorbikes, not open wheel ground jets.

    Loved the smell.

    Love Formula 1 more though.
    C'est une belle histoire
  • I'm more of a NASCAR fan than open wheels but I do enjoy watching those races. I agree, Tony George fucked up what was once a great racing series.
    I'll ride the wave where it takes me.
