You're rather confident then John, I'd like to know where you got it from. Their street events are not established enough yet, once they've going on as long as Long Beach, Toronto, Surfers Paradise, that's how events become popular. The same with infact Indy 500, Le Mans 24 hours, how long have they been running now?

CC does not have that cornerstone event, although I would certainly agree that Surfer's could be and Long Beach should be that type of event for them

'Champ Car DOES NOT HAVE A CORNERSTONE EVENT?' IRL, they have just the one, the Indy 500, all the rest are just another round, hence the viewing figures are tiny for the rest of the rounds compared to the Indy 500. Champ Car has just 16 other rounds, and no big event, that's why if the IRL doesn't improve it'll always have the sponsors and interest for that one race.
Champ Car does need to have that one race or several that make it Champ Car, and it has them, Long Beach, Surfers Paradise, Toronto, Cleveland etc..
