Toronto Indy
#1
As it says, the 2008 Toronto Indy has been cancelled, due to the merger of IRL and ChampCar. It may be back for 2009

yeah this really sucks.

Toronto was one of my fav. tracks. Hopefully it will come back for 09

Face it, Toronto can't afford to loose 3mil. bc of this.

Oh well no Indy, go to the LeMans in Mosport, Aug. 24 weekend this year.
It's a wicked weekend especially if you camp out for the event.

Maybe we could hitch a ride with Paul Tracy, since he's out of a job.

I don't think its that the couldn't afford too, its that they didn't want to. They have run many years without sponsors .. i think its all a big protest on there part

This whole merger is a big piss off. They cancelled Laguna Seca as well now. At least I'm getting my money back, kind of sucks I booked my holidays at a time I normally would not really do anything. Oh well, at least it's on the May two four weekend.
