Champ Car 2007 - News, Notes and Rants. part 2

Max 04-22-2007 08:10 PM

Yeah! I quit watching when it was on Spike. Too bad they aren't using HD cameras. Watching NASCAR in HD is starting to get real boring.

[QUOTE=XenoWolf;16138673]Good point, but it's not like I have much interest in going to a race anyways. I'd rather watch it on T.V. Nazareth isn't very far from me, but I still never went to catch them when they were in town. Probably more due to the fact that I never had the cash though when I was a wee lad.[/QUOTE]


You should try going to Friday practice then watching the sunday race on TV. Thats super fun. Get a garage pass too, there are no crowds on Friday and you can get autographs and pictures with the drivers pretty e-z. Not me though I couldn't even recognize them.

[QUOTE=ptclaus98;17668016]I lied. I support the CCWS. **** Tony George, this race was alot more exciting than St Pete, and I only got to see 30 min. of it.[/QUOTE]

Whatever dude. I watch Champ, IRL, F1, Nascar, Nascar West, World Challenge, SCCA almost anything racing. You are not going to make it in Auto racing if you start hating on certain series because they don't do what you want them to do.

CCWS is on ESPN

[QUOTE=wvallwheeldrive;17812726]it was a good race because PT wasn't there[/QUOTE]

Fix'd. :lol:

I'd much rather see Servia in the seat.

Graham had an excellent run, it won't be long until he captures a win. I was disappointed to see Tag have a tough day. Overall I enjoyed the race even though I'm never really 'excited' about street circuits. Really looking forward to Portland!

Speaking of the IRL, I got a chuckle when ESPN was promoting the Kansas Indysomething 300 during the Champ Car race.

They desperately need to drop that announcer...he calls races like a ****ing baseball game :rolleyes:

You have got to admit PT is allways good for a laugh.

And Graham will be at least a F1 test driver in 5 years.

Yeah, seeing him and Tag go at it live will always be one of my favorite racing memories. :lol:

He misread Doornbos every time.


And I think Graham's the best chance the US has got at a WDC anytime soon.
Ferg 04-23-2007 11:48 PM

I'd say it's about even odds between him and Marco making it to F1.

Not sure about either being potential WDC material yet, with emphasis on "yet".

Fingers crossed we get to find out though :D

Weren't they calling Jani "Johnny" during the race?

Yeah, that pissed me off, too. If you're gonna commentate, at least find out how to say the names.
StuBeck 04-24-2007 07:16 AM

I don't think it was an inability to say his name, I think it was them trying to be cute or something by not saying his name correctly.

I hope so.

Nope, after 3 races and about 6 or 7 commentators not a one of them have said "Yani" rather then "Jahnny".

They destroy Tristan Gommendy. You say it like its spelled but they alway s say Go-Mohn-Dee rather then Gom-n-di.

Man- I was dead wrong. It is "Jan-EE"

Congratulations to Sebstian Bourdais for taking the victory in Mexico, even though he already had the championship won. F1 isnt going to be as exciting for him, though.
randy zimmer 11-11-2007 10:30 PM

Spec cars that consistantly stall at starts and break clutches
at Mt Tremblant, SB jumps the start and no one noticed
spudd4242 11-12-2007 09:27 PM

Im so glad Sebastian is gone. He will just become washed up in F1 they will chew him up. You only have to meet him once to lose all respect for him. David martinez held himself well though and made mexico semi-proud.
