How Many Confirmed for Vegas? No Money for Race.

How Many Confirmed for Vegas? No Money for Race.




How many drivers are confirmed for the Vegas race? Ten? Not good.

And, it seems Vegas really doesn't have the money to support this race
in the first place. Everybody involved might as well cancel this thing.

"...Response times will be longer. Quality of work may suffer. There
will be little ability to support special programs or events, like the
Tennis Channel Open and the Las Vegas Grand Prix...."

Are you nuts? Las Vegas has more money that it knows how to spend. Check
with NASCAR or the NBA and see how well Las Vegas supports them. Check with
the boxing organizations or UFC or Pride and see how well Las Vegas supports
them. If there is a problem with CART-OWRS it is because they chose to
employ all foreign drivers who cannot speak English or endorse any American
products. Those foreign hot shoes may be able to brake and downshift well
but they have pretty much killed open wheel racing in America. The truth is
not always pretty but that does not prevent it from being the truth. Open
wheel racing has all but killed itself with foreign drivers.
