Roninho should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid

One thing that can be said about CC events over IRL races... people show up.
Just curious: Which facts make you want to say that Long Beach will have a problem filling the seats when the IRL gets there in stead of Champcar?

Personally i do not believe that most (or even 30%) of attendance at Long Beach as well as total attendance for CC are "Loyal Champ Car fans". Loyal fans are imo people that at least follow most of the races. Tv-ratings suggest that less than 10% of total attendance follows most of the races.
