The Fan Forum in Elkhart Lake, WI has been set for Saturday from 12:00-1:00 PM. The location is the Media Tent on the outside of the Media Center.

Panel So Far: Paul Gentilozzi ,Jimmy Vasser, Bruno Junqueira (12:15-12:45)

John Lopes and Possibly Danica Patrick from Toyota Atlantics

The panel is subject to change (often does right up until the last moment because of racing commitments).

Please attend..we will have some great prizes including fast laps (pace car rides), speedgear merchandise, hats, suite passes, etc. You don't have to be an Inner Circle Fan Club member to attend....but look at the fan club sign up on the Champ Car web site...something you might be interested in.

Over 652 folks attended the forum at Road America.....what a deal! Great prizes including pace car rides and suite passes were given away...look for the Inner Circle Fan forum in denver. It's free.

Wow, that's a big tent. :)

[Sean O'Gorman]

Wow, that's a big tent. :)

Yeah, how the hell did Cleveland end up with a tent big enough to only hold about 100 people and Denver get the Pepsi Center? ;)

We had 250 in Portland with no advance notice and no seats (a couple of picinc tables...in Cleveland we had about 400 in a tent that held 85 (your 100 was a bit over the number of seats available (humor))....in Vancouver we had 550 people in a place that had a few benches and stairways....in Road America we had 652 folks with seats for 360....In Denver we have the Pepsi Center.

Some things worth noting...the gentleman complaining about the lack of seating in Cleveland has a very valid point (about not enough seats in Cleveland). As folks hear more and more about these Forums, the interest level is increasing and we are getting incredible numbers (for an incredible free show and expensive prizes too!). Now, there is no Pepsi Center at the Cleveland race...BUT will there be more seats...you BET! As the fans respond, the promoters will respond in kind.

So let's keep filling the Forums...it's a sign of growth in a sport we all have a great passion for. Maybe we can't fill the Pepsi Center in Denver (it's pretty big) BUT we can have a great showing and have a great time.

Let's fill Laguna Seca's ampithreater too!!!! (Don't know if we're having one in Las Vegas yet..should know soon)..

AND we will work hard to get a seat under every one in the future!!!
