Right on brother! If you go to Australia during the Surfer's event you will see so much coverage and fan involvement it makes the Indy of today look weak but once you step outside of Oz, nobody heard a thing. Same went for the first year CCWS went to Mexico City. Huge crowd and media coverage. The town was electric. Back in the USA, nothing.

Go to Europe, Oz or Mexico next Monday and you will find coverage about Indy. I believe that it the point being made.

Have a beer and enjoy the race. TGIF
