1. Says in the latest speed article $1.5 million was paid for the sanctioning fee for this race and Labrosse assumed rights to the race. If you have other information please post it. I haven't heard Johnson say that. Right now it sounds like the street races are doing pretty good. In fact, new ones are being added for next year. 2. I will attend more races because of the new car. I think it will change the series on many levels. 3. Zhuhai race? That's complete rumor. I'm not aware of any signed deal. IF they did race there, so what? China has grown quite a lot and has strong economic ties to the USA. Wal Mart is a good start. Not only does walmart buy billions of dollars of goods from china, but the WalMart and Sam's Club chain has shown phenominal growth in the chinese retail market. Just read an article on it in "The Economist" weekly magazine. 4. Yep we did run at Las Vegas on a track rental basis. Cool. Can't wait for the new street circuit. |

I would certainly agree that the independent speedways are an option. Probably the only realistic option as I believe the nascar oriented track congolmerates would never have champcars interests at heart. Much like the situation in Montreal. Mr. Kalkoven said earlier this year that when the fans wanted ovals back, they would be back. We wanted Road America and we got it. |

And yes, I'm extremely happy Road America made it back onto the schedule - let's hope Mid-Ohio and Laguna Seca make it back as well to make it a hat trick. |
