Like I told a friend of mine, I'm not that desperate. Yet... When I do become desperate enough to watch it, we are all in deep trouble.Originally posted by manurespreader View Post
The whole esport thing is a generational thing. If the younger kids like to watch it, so be it. Heck, there's a ton of money in it. More than some racing series, even Indy car. Seriously. So, maybe we shouldn't knock it after all.Russell Jaslow

Re: Open Wheel Racing 2018- with less winglets.
Indy 500 moved to August 23, with qualifying the weekend before.
Thus, Mid-Ohio moved to August 9 and Gateway moved to August 30.
Indy GP moved to July 4 on the NASCAR weekend to make it a doubleheader.
St. Pete will be rescheduled, but no date announced yet.Russell Jaslow

The doubleheader with nascar will be very interesting. I think Penske moved mountains here to get nbc to agree to these dates considering the possibility of PGA tourneys and NHL playoffs as contenders for the same time slots.Originally posted by Russell Jaslow View Post
How weird will it be to watch the INDY 500 in August?
Also, that road coarse race at Indy just may be Jimmie Johnson’s introduction to racing indycar on road and street coursesEverything in its right place, Wisconsin Hockey National Champs!

Miller said they wouldn’t move that date, I wonder what’s driving the decision to change it? Does Long Beach still have an outside chance?Originally posted by Russell Jaslow View PostEverything in its right place, Wisconsin Hockey National Champs!

Re: Open Wheel Racing 2018- with less winglets.
They claim it's because they want the teams to be able to rest a bit and not have a bunch of consecutive weekends right after Indy (but then, with the Indy GP now on July 4, that makes five races in a row during that time which is fairly daunting). Personally -- and I have no evidence to support this -- I think Labor Day weekend is a backup date for Indy, if the 500 needs to be delayed more. Though, it' really not much more of a delay if things are still bad in late August, a few weeks won't make a difference.Originally posted by solovsfett View Post
As for Long Beach, it's kaput. I read they were eyeing the Halloween weekend as apparently the convention center was available then. And any date requires that building to be available. However, the LBGP gave up on that possibility due to other logistical reasons. So, it won't happen this year.
St. Pete's rescheduled date is apparently reliant on Laguna Seca's willingness to no longer be the season finale. I don't know what's in their contract, but I would hope people will be flexible in these extraordinary times. In any case, any St. Pete date will be after Laguna Seca. Weather certainly won't be an issue (other than hurricanes) no matter how late into the Fall it is.Russell Jaslow
