Now lets pull for Nelson Philippe in the last Champcar race!

 

Sorry, I'm rooting for Graham - 50 points will put him only 9 down for the lead.

Although I forgot Jimmy Vasser and Paul Tracy are running, two of my old CART Faves... would love to see either of them win too

 

Well, none of the drivers I like did well but I am really happy for Kalkhoven. If anyone deserved a win it was him.

Great to see Jamie Little again too! She is by far the best woman announcer in any series.

 

.....and she won the Toyota celeb race too

 

I saw that! Speed used to tape and show the "race"... have to keep an eye on the schedule to see if they do this year. It is always funny to watch.

Man I wish someone would give me a car I could push as hard as I wanted and not worry about the insurance company problems

It was a bit sad watching yesterday... last ever ChampCar/CART event. The very first race I went to was CART in 94 at NH. End of an era for sure.

I'm so glad long beach event remains on their schedule. to IRL adding more road/street races. Like Vasser (I think) said, they need to take the best from ChampCar and incorporate it into IRL.

 

Although not a fan of street races,this one should stay

 

OFFICIAL ORDER OF FINISH - CHAMP CAR FINALE, LONG BEACH

1. #8, Will Power, KC Racing Technology, 83 laps

2. #7, Frank Montagny, Forsythe/Pettit Racing, 83 laps

3. #96, Mario Dominguez, Pacific Coast Motorsports, 83 laps

4. #36, Enrique Bernoldi

 

The finish of the celeb race was weird. Jamie little crossed the finish line first at the end of lap 10 and the flagman held up a 1 sign for one more lap. They all continued racing and Mike Skinner crossed the finish line first on lap 11 and got the checkered flag. He pumped his fist. Later they announcded that Jamie Little had won. I was in GS 29 right at the finish line. Everyone said "WTF?"
