That will be a real bummer if we lose Atlantics.

I think we have. Not surprised though. I enjoyed them immensely last year at Lime Rock and NJMSP though

More collateral damage.

Amen, doc. :flame:

Losing Atlantics will suck, but the car is too good and too affordable to just leave out there.

Too painful to even reply.:( (so Don't leave them out there, slap a 450-500hp turbo 4 in there and crush any other open wheelers left in America! Oh, and muck Findy )

When the budget for Atlantics rivaled that of F3000, and nothing came from winning the Championship, you knew it was a matter of time before it went south....
Further more, when Champcars went away what was F.Atlantic support series of? Sucks, because it was great in the mid 90's. I liked it more then Indy Lights at the time.

John Edwards to Grand-Am? Now it's official, every young American open wheel driver out there who doesn't want to go oval racing, who is racing in the USA, is finding his way to Grand Am. Amazing. John Edwards should have stayed in europe, doing F.Atlantcs the last few years was a big waste of time. Now he's a Grand-Am driver for life; maybe on to Nascar afterwards. Before his goal was F1....

Hiatus I hope. Mazda sticking means something. I've learned enough in the last few years to not be optimistic.
