Alright, I'm in on this one. Big F1 and ChampCar fan. CART is no longer, actually will cease operation on Feb. 12. Being purchased by Gerry Forsythe, Kevin Kalkhoven and Paul Gentilozzi, they have formed Open Wheel Racing Series, Inc. That will be the new sanctioning body. Also includes Formula Atlantics and TransAm. OWRS is trying to bring it back from the dead. Have also brought in MotorRock which will include amongst other things concerts at the tracks in conjuction with the races. This could be potentially big. I hope it works. I love road racing.
First F1 race I went to was the Long Beach Grand Prix in 1977, won by Mario Andretti (I'm an old fart). Have been to every USGP in Indy. Will be there this June. Can't wait.
Will attend as many Champ Car races as I can. Probably Road America and Milwaukee. Maybe Cleveland and for sure will attend the rumored Las Vegas race, supposedly to be held in Nov. And if the rumors are true there will be an U2 concert along with this race. That's almost too good to be true.
