I went to Portland expecting to rent a Kangaroo (http://www.kangaroo.tv/interface.htm) for the weekend. I had seen them last year and thought that was the way to go, instead of using my headset/scanner/intercom setup that I created. This year, it's nowhere to be found, and all I got was blank stares from vendors and info at the track. I'm going to Cleveland and would like to know beforehand...

Anyone?

You might try looking here: http://www.kangaroo.tv/interface.htm

It says they were going to be in Portland. It looks like you can order on-line for Cleveland. Their is an email address you could send your questions to (info@kangaroo.tv).

I received emails for some weeks beforehand looking for folks to staff the Portland KangarooTV kiosk, but they were a no-show- no kiosk, and not a single KanagarooTV in sight. I always suspected they were subsidized by CART- I wonder of OWRS pulled the plug...

I just received an email from Alain Charette, VP Corporate Development W.A.V.E.S. Inc., and they said "We had to cancel Portland for unforeseen reasons and I apologize for that." He also said they WILL be at Cleveland. I will be there...wondering if I should bother bringing my scanners and headsets. This will be my first visit so, any tips on seating?
