Why is this the first time I've ever heard that they are running here in Indy!!!!!
Any future events here (this year or next)?
It will depend greatly on how this years event goes. It’s by far the most expensive track to rent for Champcar.
I've got some Canadian friends running that event. It would be fun to be there with them.
I had noted they'd be there much earlier this year and noodled the possibility of watching that race then sidling up to Road America for the Brian Redman Historic Race next weekend. Alas, not this year, but maybe next if the stars align...
Man that had to be a weird phone call to take... "Hi this is Mike from ChampCar. Would Indianpolis be interested in hosting a ChampCar race?"
"Hmm, we've never had a ChampCar race before. Where'd you come up with the name?"
I'm amazed they managed to make that happen. Champcar is still a dirty word to a lot of people there.
Im here now!
Just as crew though. We were not able to get things lined up to bring our car.

I recall Champcar suggesting that when they called up Indycar, they were surprised how willing they were to let them have the name. Part of me thinks that nothing says revenge, or burries the past like letting a bunch of junk yard cars, driving by a bunch of yahoos, use the name of your defeated enemy. Letting them run at your namesake hallowed ground track is just another step in that direction.
The cleveland browns themed car is awesome and i kinda know one of the guys with the blue saturn sc2
In Saturday's race the difference between first and second place was about 30 seconds!

Yeah I didn't realize it was happening until I went to Cars and Coffee across from the speedway that morning.
