The schedule is shaping up pretty quickly than we all thought. Fontana, Michigan, Cleveland and Surfers should be it.

Australia...

(Sorry I couldn't resist.)

Gary

you are not helping.......!!!

Will ABC shown here to Aus at least

I guess it will be Indycar.com or finding it online somewhere for me

[Rex Monaco]

WTF? WATKINS GLEN AND IOWA ON ABC AND LONG BEACH ON VERSES?

I too was pretty surprised that Long Beach was not on ABC. I wonder what Toyota thinks about this? (Or what Honda thinks about Motegi being on Versus?)

[Dr. Krogshöj]

The Surfers Paradise race weekend will be held October 23-25 next year. That's a fact. The V8 Supercars will be part of the show. The question is whether Indycars will be part of it. That's for the IRL to decide, I think. If they say yes, the race will be broadcast by VERSUS because ABC's contract is for five races.

I reckon it will be one of the following at Surfers next year:

- No event
- IRL non points race as this year
- A1GP event.

I reckon it will be one of the following at Surfers next year:

- No event
- IRL non points race as this year
- A1GP event.

Supposedly A1GP is in poor health itself, so it'll probably be option A if there's no Indy.

If Tony George needed convincing about whether the event belongs on the calendar then hopefully he'll be slapped back together later this month.

[MAX_THRUST]

So either Twin Ring Moteig gets moved or Surfers will be earlier next year......I guess then Twin Ring will be moved closer to the Australian event.

How did Chicago feel about being not the last race next year or did they just accept it?

I used to love a 500 mile superspeedway finnish to the season as in the (please don't grown) the CART days. It was a great way to finnish the season. The only time it wasnt was 99.

[Placid]

How about Montreal since the GP is dropped?

[Jacques]

Why would anyone put WG and Milwaukee on ABC, instead of Long Beach, or Iowa instead of Texas ? This is no way to plan a promising future.

Once again, Indy is making the same mistakes CC made before. We even have a race that has no tv scheduled air time, and a race that may not even be included in the series. One more mistake copied from CART.

Oh well, nothing really changes.
