Chaim, I can't find much fault with what you wrote. I've been critical myself, and I love this series and its history. Which is why we can't give up, either on the series or the possiblity of a merger. It's too important. I don't wannt to see a great sports tradition die because of a rich man's parlor game. If we continue to believe and put pressure on CCWS to do a better job, maybe we will finally see some light at the end of the Monaco Tunnel.

another fork
Put another fork in them. Next Marketing (the savior with Richitelli at the helm) hung up their helmets last week and resigned the Champ Car account. Next: CDW's contract is up at the end of the season and they are also saying bye, bye. Richitelli ran this account too. What's left? What's left?
life is always a crisis, for without crisis, there would be no excitement to life.

Booger,
Is this really true? I am not going to press you for a link or proof, but that is worrying news. Please say that this is just your opinion.
Now more than ever the CCWS leaders need to call a press conference and explain what is going on. Time for the boys to step up and show some leadership. Even if things look bad, talk about the problems and accept that things are difficult, but will get better because of the new plans. Reassure everyone involved with the series. Provide details of the new and wonderful marketing and promotional campaign that will re-energise the series.
Goodness, they have spent so much money on the series, you would think that they would want to protect their investment!

Not surprised that NEXT left, before they got the boot. I am hearing that there are others with huge motorsport experience, already at work.
I would'nt put away my CC clothes just yet. Just because NEXT made one deal doesn't mean they own that company or control what they do with future sponsorship. But, for all I know you own CDW and are tippin' your hand. But I don't think so.
I would not be surprised to see several changes at CC. KK seesm to be a guy who tries to hire good people and let them work. If things don't go as well as planned, move on to someone new - or old - to get the job done.
CC has made many great strides and a few backward steps, and has just stood around at times during the last year, but overall they are the best racing product on any track anywhere, and if priced right, they are the best marketing value in motorsports. I do not know how they have been trying to price it, perhaps too high,,, but there is a market for what CC provides and the trick is finding the right way to attract and hold those companies.
CC has not been doing that. Perhaps the deal is different than football , or tennis, or bowling. With NEXT gone, that opens the door for a marketing team that can get the job done. Just my opinion of course. But I cannot ignore the fact that CC is the best racing product in the business.

Our series is alive and that is what scare the other series becase they see what we can be and they can never be becuase we are ChampCar,,, racing American styles since 1909 and you can't stop that witch is not stopible.
