Any word on where contract renewal negotiations are going for next year and beyond between Long beach and OWRS???

Today's Indy Star quoted Ken Ungar of the IRL as saying yesterday in St. Pete that the IRL is in "Serious Negotiations" with Long beach to possibly rae there next year....

I would think that OWRS, as the existing partner, would have the inside track....

Has anyone heard anything about the status of negotiations from OWRS's side of the equation???

There is a very strong rumor that Long Beach will continue to be a Champ Car race.

That is very disappointing to hear, and I hope the supposed negotiations come to nothing.

As for Champ Car I hope they either leave Long Beach altogether or force a change to the layout.

They can't go back to the previous layouts due to building.

Anyways I can't see how the current layout is not good.

I am well aware of that and I didn't say they should go back to the old one either - just that they should change the current one.

It's utterly inferior to the old one, IMHO.

I want to believe this, luke, I really do. Where did you hear this?

I haven't heard anything to the contrary, but I just want to be sure that this is a real rumor and not have false hope

A rumour from a site called "ChampCar fanatics" is hardly the most objective and credible source.

It's a Champ Car forum, The name of the site has nothing to do with the rumor status, MarkC who runs AutoRacing1, anounced it on the forum.

MarkC and AutoRacing1 are hardly an objective and credible source, in my opinion.

K-b and I are thinking alike on this one. All I am saying is that let's not jump the gun on this one.

Their first for rumors, but as he said it's a strong rumor.

Lets not, I'm just letting you guys know there's a strong rumor that it will stay.

Today's LA Times

I hope this link will work as LA Times does require registration.

It is going to be an uphill battle to keep the CCWS in Long Beach. With Toyota as sponsor and Dover Motorsports not liking OWRS, it does not look good for retaining this race. I agree with the statement that the CCWS starts too late in the year. And five weeks between LB and Monterey is too long of a layoff.
