I hope Briscoe does well in Champ Car, he has shown he is fast on tracks that turn right...maybe he'll be on a top team next year & a top runner forever

Should be a great event, and perhaps set some attendance records.

Looks like a strong grid line-up for Surfers with Briscoe in and Pizzonia back. I think Wirth will be driving for Coyne so that's another proven racer on track as well.

Not to sound like a downer but i don't think Pizzonia has anything to show.....or at least he hasn't when he drove earlier this year.

Except putting a Rocketsports car 7th at Long Beach, surely a super human effort. After not having any testing time.

His drive at Montreal was also worthy. Remembering he hadnt driven a champ car since April.

I think he has plenty to show, lets just lets get him out of rocketsports.

I'm going to my first ChampCar race I don't know if any of you read Racecar Engineering but they (and Pi Research) had a contest to win a trip to Surfers Paradise and "shadow" a Pi Research engineer. Believe it or not, I won! I don't exactly know what my schedule is, but I'll be in the Vibe hotel and possibly riding around in the pacecar, or "a" pacecar? Any side events I shouldn't miss?
