Man... too bad! Lots of build-up for this race thanks to all the PT stuff, could have been a classic.

Will NBC stick with the race if it resumes? What about Global (Canada)? They're using the NBC feed this year, hope that doesn't mean it gets cut short when the American coverage does.

Golf follows the race, so in a word, hell no. I guess that's two words.

Maybe they'll slide it over to MSNBC, but if not, the Speed rebroadcast is Wednesday, September 6 at noon. That's so far away, we'll forget all about the results in the meantime.

The red flag should have been displayed when PT took to the track in that wrestling get up. Might have been worse than Lil' Al in the Dracula suit. CC TV has been replaying so many wrecks and fights in it's "promotion" of the series I find it difficult to criticize Danicamentia anymore. Hopefully we're past both.

Hey, while you're up on that high horse, can you tell if there's any blue sky beyond those rain clouds?

You must be joking! This is the most compelling storyline in ChampCar in years, play it for all it's worth. The press in Montreal were eating it up with a side of poutine. :D

Isn't there a way to make these cars more rain friendly, as far as trails are concerned? Something involving temporary fenders over the rear wheels or anything like that?

The Burlington, VT radar doesn't look good for the TV window. My guess is that this ends up being like RA in '02 or '03, which was finished after TV coverage ended. :(

Champ Car gave up the last half hour of coverage so maybe NBC will come through on another channel.

Grrrr. I haven't been able to get their streaming video to work from home this year at all. Something has changed from last year and my satellite connection just won't stay connected.

That's silly. The events on the track were completely real. Nobody is hyping them into something they're not. They're just promoting the very real rivalry on the track. Tracy is just having fun with his detractors like he always has (whineritus, applesauce, etc). It's not false hype entirely based on a fuel strategy move in one race.

Should go Monday I'd imagine. It's not like Surfer's where they had to open up the public roads, the Montreal track is around a park.
