Hooray! In case you have not heard, Champ Car released its 2007 Schedule last week. Only one surprise in my book, the decision to go back to Quebec next year at the beautiful Mt. Tremblant Circuit in St. Jovite, where Champ Cars last raced in the sixties. It'll need some upgrading, but our people in the ASRQ say its well worth the effort.
There is still a significant hole waiting to be filled in September and Champ Car has signed letters of intent with two newer circuits, Assen in the Netherlands and Ochersleben in Germany, so details on these still have to be tweaked out for 2007.
We shall start the season with three in a row - A Las Vegas Street race on Easter, followed by LongBeach and Houston. The Las Vegas Race may be pretty popular. Send an email to Ian Cook, who is collecting a list of interested marshals. This event will require only about 100 or so marshals and because of the demand, it could be they only accept those with the most experience. We'll see. Send your experience level, license grade and info to iancook@sbcglobal.net
