It'll be fun to check out for sure. I don't know why some folks here seem to get their back up over this type of thing. Whatever. Plenty of room in North America for motorsport, just not enough sponsors. Sink or swim.
I don't care if it's Formula Vee or Formula One as long as the racing's good. It'd be nice to see that Panoz again. Maybe they can get a nice lease price from Cosworth on all those dusty engines as well. What else are they doing over there anyways?
:)
The Island Track has been refurbished and will be used by the Atlantics and the Greenprix next Spring.
Why wouldn't they be Cosworths? The Cossie is the engine of choice for vintage racing modern F1 cars, on account of it's a reasonable size and it doesn't take an army of engineers to keep the thing running. It might be an XD instead of an XFE, but since the XFE got detuned, and they are going to detune it even further, it might be cost competitive with an XD.Quote:

Both of which are in the process of being replaced.Quote:

My boyfriend (Half Asian, half Irish so he's Irasian or Asianish) and I are talking about going to Savannah for St. Patrick's Day. They get like 400,000 people that weekend so its a great time to host a race. If I get a chance to make it over to the Island for the race I'll post some pictures to see what kind of event they put on.
Maybe this is where we will see Marty Roth race next year.
I think it will be great to see the Champ Cars racing again, even if it is in a Jr. racing format.
The IRL refuses to race at a number of great road courses, perhaps GP will be able to help fill the void. I think the people of Cleveland, Houston and Portland would love their races back.
Go Green Prix!!
Where has the IRL "refused to race", Benny?
