What a great tune!. Talking about a time when the politics were second topic of conversation to the racing...

From 1984 until 2007 folks!! I was at a few great races there. Alot of great drivers/racing there. A shame that open wheel isn't there/Cleveland/Road America/Laguna Seca...

More than worthy of remembering, not to mention it being a great part of the Rose Festival for any open wheel fan.........
Seeing Zanardi there was breathtaking. And some years it was worth it just to see the cars in the parking lot!!!:champion:car Continuing since 1909

I feel for you, jimispeed. Early this spring, when the trees here in the northeast were finally starting to bud, I was thinkign about the many champ car races my wife and I attended at Nazareth. It must be a spring phenomenon, because hot summer days do not remind me of the champ car races at New Hampshire. (I hope to see NH on the IndyCar schedule next year!)

The soul of Indycar still exists, just needs the right tools. Hopefully the new "Indycar" can expose it again. It's sinking......
Indycar had better become the series it once was, or all we'll remember is, the series it once was.:champion:car Continuing since 1909
