Any open wheel race fans?
So, It appears the IRL & CCWS (Cart) are very close to joining forces (again). SpeedTV has a good report up on they're web site. The merger could take place in time for the 2008 schedule. Rumor has it several of the CART races will be added to the IRL schedule & a few IRL races will be dropped. One of the races rumored to be dropped is Watkins Glen. Why Watkins Glen I dont know, maybe the best track they race on. I hope they keep the Glen on the schedule.

They better not drop the Glen, I got EFN tickets to that race!

Thanks. Didnt even know there was an auto racing forum.
By the way, what are EFN tickets?

Sorry that's new england slang for f'ing - let me know if you don't get the idea

It sounds more serious this time for a merger...

If you visit this page and scroll down a little, you can see a couple of my pictures of Honda's first CART win at NHIS - back when real racing used to happen there...

ahhhhh EFN tickets. I get it.
My uncle used to be a service manager for Honda & he'd get me VIP tickets for the Mid-Ohio CART race.

See you learned something new today

I'm going to get out to Mid-Ohio sometime soon, hopefully 2009... Either to drive at a track day and/or see ALMS.

keep the glen!

i went last year and it was fun, it made me that much more excited to eventually travel and see an F1 race,

at the same time who knows if it will be the same with new rules

I know it is not open wheel, but my favorite Glen weekend is the Sportscar Race.
