I posted a picture of the banner in another thread. I burst out laughing when I saw it. I could see it from 1,000 feet away. Tracy was correct.. and he would rather drive NASCAR than in the IRL.

Just out of curiousity, why wouldn't they get staffing for an ALMS race?

I just received this from one of my friends in Portland who sent an e-mail of support for the Champ race to the promoter, Global Events:
To our Champ Car Supporters: Thank you for all your calls and emails expressing your support for Champ Car at Portland International Raceway. Your expressions of support and opinions are more appropriately addressed to City of Portland Commissioner Jim Francesconi who will be making a decision within the new few weeks regarding IRL and Champ Car. Contact information for him is phone (503) 823-3008; email to jfrancesconi@ci.portland.or.us. And, of course, the media is also interested in fan-based comments: Dennis Peck, Sports Editor, The Oregonian, dennispeck@news.oregonian.com or (503) 221-8164; and Steve Brandon, Sports Editor, Portland Tribune, sbrandon@portlandtribune.com or (503) 546-5144. I was given permission to pass this along. If we want Champ to stay in Portland we had better get vocal! keke |

Mags, you are right that none of us would go south for the IRL. However, I must say that only about half of the locals will be staying home for the Champs. The rest, including me, will be going to Portland for ALMS. It's a terrible decision we have had to make. keke Last edited by racerkeke; 23 Jun 2004 at 21:42. |

We could get on with enjoying Champcar rather than enjoying hating something else.

Ah, but they were running at an IRL venue, weren't they?
And I can't see that non-support of a particular series constitutes "hating" it. I don't support modern dance -- I like classical ballet better -- but that doesn't mean I "hate" modern dance. I just don't want to see it. Ditto for the IRL. |

And if Michael doesn't give 'em hell about that, Ralf will. It took what, 3:12 for the medical car to reach the Williams BMW, I believe.

That issue has been debated intensely in the F1 forum.
Fair enough if people claim not to "hate" the IRL - I just wish all this "FTG" nonsense would stop, too. |

I don't HATE the IRL(I just don't enjoy watching), however I stand by my FTG nonesense.
