Per Robin Miller from Sonoma on Speed: NOT a merger update, but CC/IRL double headers in '07, all on road courses? Huh.

"We discussed the possibility of running a couple events together but I'm not real optimistic at this point."

I can't see the irl racing on the same track on the same weekend. Their hapless cars would look like the minor leagues. :laugh:

When this was first brought up awhile back, i thought it would be a great way to have a serious parking lot brawl with some earl fans.

Then I realized that there aren't any, just a few lunatics that never leave their computers. Too bad, they should get the full earl experience of an ambulance ride to the trauma center. :gomer:

NO WAY! CCWS is not going to be a support series of the IRL. Heck no! :thumdown:

Dumb idea. What would be the point?

CC gets to run at a largely empty St Pete (though a good track) and the IRL gets to run LB?

Agree with KK. Not optimistic. Not even something I would look forward to. Won't help with a merger. I can see Clark's motivation to get Honda in front of the LB crowd, but why would Mario think this is a good idea?

He doesn't want Marco to run in a series that is mostly ovals?
