source please?

I've been under the impression that the only date locked in (or out) was Trois-Rivières in the middle of August 2009.

Anyway the gomers want the Atlantic Championship to go away, so expect them to lock Atlantic out of every race weekend they can. Besides, the fastest Atlantic drivers make the tail end of the IRL grid look bad at a circuit like Edmonton.

I spoke with some team members at the NJ race and they believed their schedule would pretty much be aligned with ALMS.

Of course Atlantics and Lights shared weekends for many years.

This seals and already shut book for me though. I can't possibly listen to Lights, even on TV, they sound so bad.

I hadn't expected to go to Long Beach any more anyway but, as you say, AL, this seals the deal. No racing to watch (or hear).

They are the worst. I'm against mufflers on race cars, but if any car needs one, it's Lights. I think it's a way for IMS to try to fool people into thinking the Indy cars sound decent. After an hour of hearing the Lights...anything sounds good.

This is a smart move for the IRL - it will alleviate any confusion as to what the headliner series is at each race weekend.

That's sad considering the long history the series has had at the event.

Has there ever been a direct speed comparison between these ProLight cars and Atlantics?

You could go by times for both @ MO and St. Pete.

Funny how any sentence that begins with something like that always ends dripping with sarcasm.:thumbup:
