Hey, something that I agree with you on. Awesome. Just how you'd probably liek to see CC to go under, and I th IRL, we can both agree, both will not go under. There is too much support behind each series for either to go under.Quote:

Point taken. If it IS announced, what does it mean?
Anyone cares more than the teams and CC fans that the schedule has to be announced? I don't see any point of announcing it now or November of 2008. Makes no difference to sponsors, promoters, medias, realists....no difference at all.
This late in the game, it really doesn't matter other than to give us hope there will be a season. The entire business plan, schedule, technology changes, etc. at the series level for next year should have been finalized months ago. Of course not a single one of us knows that it hasn't, but teams, sponsors, venues and fans sure would like to know. Maybe KK et al have finally learned to keep their cards a tad closer to their chest with the rate at which the competetors have taken their ideas and strategies.
As silent as CC is, one wonders what's done and what's not done. I understand the PR department at CC is now empty, the final two people having left for other things.
Rumor or FACT.Quote:

With all the negative comments regarding the PR department it may be a great idea to dump them all and start new.
Well, I haven't heard Sid Priddle, who was hired as a consultant, has left, so maybe he's still there. My source is a good one, but call the CC HQ and ask if you don't believe me.
And they HAVE "lost," not dumped, pretty much the whole PR department this year. Erik Mauk left for Rahal-Letterman. Merrill Cain left for the Detroit IRL race. The latest are a guy and a gal, one headed to the NHRA, one getting out of racing. They DID pick up Nate Siebens for some website work at some point along with Priddle, but I don't know how much time Priddle spends there -- he lives in Toronto -- or even if he's still aboard and Siebens lives in Florida and does a contract deal.

As to what it has to do with the CCWS series, only time will tell...personally, I think KK has already decided to close up shop and NHL's departure will finalize that closing. As far as IMG. CCWS is likely to lose that race by all that is known today and again, we'll wait and see. Again, I'm pretty comfortable with the 60 day timeframe I laid down.

CC Cannot wait another year...it can't wait another 60 days without proving to its teams, sponsors and venues that it has the money to do so.
30 days and counting on this prediction.Quote:

PR Dept was seriously undermanned even with Eric Mauk...Priddle was given a mandate to upgrade...Mauk got a better job offer & priddle's plan was scrapped when tennis boy was hired.
