That loser Tracy Is so pittiful, he cannot get a ride in the IRL for next year. His manager has feelers out all over the place for NASBORE. I hear he is the replacement for Jimmy Spencer. He is so talented as wrecking a competitor to get ahead, he belongs in a taxicab series. See for yourself at http://www.autosport.com/newsitem.asp?id=24283&s=5 (you will have to sign up to view the article if you haven't signed up already, but it is free, and Autosport is great source for motorsports news and disinformation) Or you can read it here: "Montreal looks for IRL and NASCAR races Gilles Villeneuve circuit may host U.S. series Montreal is keen for top series if F1 departs NASCAR and the IRL IndyCar Series could become the keynote events at Canada's Circuit Gilles Villeneuve if it loses its Formula 1 and Champ Car race meetings. In an exclusive interview in this week's AUTOSPORT magazine, Montreal circuit boss Normand Legault vowed to find other attractions to ensure the track's survival if the grand prix is lost. The Canadian Grand Prix seems almost certain to be axed given the Ottawa government's unwillingness to compromise on anti-tobacco advertising laws. The legislation is also expected to affect the circuit's Champ Car race. Legault said: "There are various alternatives. We could look at bikes or maybe the IRL - should it decide to do road courses. We could even try to convince NASCAR to come here. They have road races on their calendar, so who knows?" |

The President of NASCAR said they will not have any races in Canada Thursday on live television. So scratch that wishful thinking. |

True, but Nascar has been beating the bushes real hard between Jersey and New York. It could happen someday. The cow could also jump over the moon someday. But that is not business. The monied people in NY/NJ can easily attend all the NASCAR races they want. Because of the climate, a 365 day multiuse facility cannot be built there the way it could in Tunica,Mississippi. The union labor stuff would make the construction of the place cost twice as much as it would in Alabama. It would be a pure ego thing to build a NASCAR style track in NY/NJ. But there are plenty of high flyers with enough money to do it. The final result would be just another race track in a wet climate. It is the usual "this is a great idea as long as it is done without my money" sort of deal. A visionary could put a colony on the moon or Mars or on the bottom of the ocean as long is it was not done with their money. The technology does exist. It is only the money that gets in the way. |

I guess you might have missed my point. I really dont care if Nascar decides that is where they want to go, they have made that point and still are actively open to that market. They have explored 2 deals already that didnt pan out and will continue to explore any possibility. This was all chronicled in National Speed Sport News over the past few years. That being said. I agree with many of your points. Smokey |
