Long Beach, and Toronto are the key. The IRL needs to poach these from champ cars next year (if legally possible) and than the series formerly know as CART will be totally irrelevent, though its pretty much irrelevent today. |

In an earlier post you stated that the 500 was "still the biggest race in America, if not the world". If this was 1994 you would have a point, but unfortunately this race may never be the same. |

Molson knows that their best chance for success lies with OWRS, and most Canadian fans are right there with them. |

The Canadians are fiercely loyal to Champ Cars, and I really don't think the IRL should even try to venture there because of it, no matter what happens to OWRS. The IRL could never replace them up there, so why waste the time, effort, and money. Its been my observation, that Canadians seem to be the most vocal in their dislike and distrust for TG and the IRL. So really, I think they'll have to live and die with OWRS. |

I watch the IRL and would go to see it if it were here. I am also Canadian.

There have been 33 official entries since the end of last week, and a few more are most likely on the way in. |
