For me, its a place rather than an event... Road America. The world's greatest racing circuit is unlikely to resonate to the sound of big banger single seat racing again... More's the pity. |

Yes, F1 should stay away from there. One of the few tracks that takes your breath away. The days of 900hp Champcar machines hurtling round there are still strong in the mind.
Mind you, many tracks in the Americas are pretty darned exciting. They still have the bravado/danger element I suppose and some add breathtaking beauty to this. |

According to Gordon Kirby, the ALMS was the main draw in 2007 rather than the ChampCars... which probably says a lot about the demise of the series over the past few years. I'm no fan of the IRL, but it would be great if they returned in 2009. That track is deserving of top tier racing, there's just nothing like it anywhere in the world.

I've got the 1993 season review and 1995 Cleveland to watch on the plane and in the airport tomorrow so it will be fun to relive that. One thing I always liked from back then was the tv coverage was much better with far better on board cameras.

Long Beach 1998....Zanardi driving like a genius, winning the race then grabbing Chip Ganassi and pointing to the bent wishbone saying something like "They're not supposed to drive with them like that" lol
Not sure exactly when, but Chip Ganassi telling Zanardi to keep doing the donuts and he would pay the fines that the authorities had said they'd dump on Zarnardi if he did any more lol Nice one Chip Wheldons championship year along with Darios last year And yes.......I know these are all after 1995 but I started watching US racing in 93 and 94 and my only real memories of these years are enjoying the times Mansell got beaten which granted, in 93 that wasn't often but oh well....can't have it all lol |
