More fanatics' attack at RM's article below. Suicidal alert has raised to Orange.

We have heard so many romours in the past, but this one seems more promising.

Possible schedule:
Homestead
St. Petersburg
Long Beach
Motegi
Kansas City?
Indy
Milwaukee
Fort Worth
Iowa
Richmond
Toronto?
Nashville
Edmonton?
Kentucky
Sonoma
Detroit
Chicago
Australia
Mexico?

Maybe gone:
Houston
Laguna Seca
Zolder
Jerez
Cleveland
Mount Tremblant
Portland
Road America
Assen
Watkins Glen?
Mid Ohio?

For 2009, I would like to keep Mount Tremblant, Road America and Mid Ohio and drop Homestead, Iowa and Richmond.

This is great news. Lets hope this works out. I would love nothing more than to see 30 or more open wheel cars on the track at the same time at every race.

If this is true,then there will be only 3 CC races LB, ED, & SP and the rest IRL venues. I hope both series have some good legal representation as I am sure contracts have been signed for all 2008 CC races. What about Toronto?
There must be more to the article as this seems like a one-sided deal in favour of IRL.
May be CC will send the Atlantics (using the Panoz) to their races that have been deleted--If so, these are the races I will watch.
Good luck to all the people who like to watch low-tech race cars go in circles.

A combined schedule would just be wrong without Watkins Glen and Road America. I'd much prefer less than 40% ovals on the calendar, and less poky street circuits. On a side note, I hope this results in better racing.

The other "website", guys, go have fun and start reading their stuff. I'm still laughing as I type this.

I will see you guys in Long Beach, as a start of this one series, if this will happen this year.

Undoubtedly, many hardcore fans like yourself are going to feel left out. But as someone with strong ties to people at Champ Car, this is going to help out everyone. A stronger, unified series, allows for more tech in the future. Its a one sided deal in favor of the IRL, because Champ Car had little to offer. Sorry, but Champ Car has little value anymore, and this will be the smartest decision that Champ Car has made. Too many screw ups. Now to future.

Congratulations, OWFan19! You just got counted down in the fanatics!! BTW, funny how an old rejected blue man group was the last one who counted you down.

Two guys that I know are also posting right now in fanatics, and they both keeping it low key. They're already over 1000 post and the fanatics couldn't even notice a thing.
