United they stood, divided they went to crap.

When they split I lost interest in Indy and eventually lost interest in Champ Car. Hopefully the merger will increase quality to where it once was if not better than it used to be.:thumbsup:

Unfortunately, the Toronto stop is cancelled for the upcoming season (last I heard). How that's supposed to help who the fuck knows, it was always a sellout and a good time.

:thumbsdow :dunno:

does IRL have road courses or is it strictly ovals?

There is supposed to be an announcement tomorrow about the Edmonton race. The current dates for this summer conflict with a IRL race in the US.

Keeping my fingers crossed that Edmonton will still have a race this year. The last two years have been great.
