There are already 3 Canadian races in cities. I don't understand this item.

The Champ Car circuit is looking to set up shop in a third Canadian city after moving into Montreal in 2002.

Series co-owner Kevin Kalkhoven wouldn't say which cities are being considered, but that "there aren't too many big Canadian cities" to choose from.

Kalkhoven said Champ Car's recent move to take over promoting and handling the Molson Indy in Toronto means "now we're Canadian residents."

i think that this is a very public way of putting the city of montreal and norman legault on notice that that stunt he pulled this year was very not appreciated and unless he steps it up a bunch next season, the race is going to be moved to another canadian city for 2007.

if the people of montreal really want to keep the race, they will put the screws to the local government and legault.

Probably putting out feelers for potential replacements for Montreal.

Easy to explain -- there is no Canada west of Toronto. Canatucky starts in Windsor.

Forsythe was saying in Mexico City that ChampCar is looking at a new U.S venue maybe as early as next season and it ISN'T Philadelphia or Las Vegas...in addition TO. Hmmmm....could someone have confused "American" and "U.S."? He didn't specify Canadian.

Ladies and gentlemen this is Chewbacca. Chewbacca is a Wookiee from the planet Kashyyyk, but Chewbacca lives on the planet Endor. Now, think about that. THAT DON'T MAKE ANY SENSE!

It really just does not work like that in the Province of Quebec.

Wouldn't that be Legault's goal to begin with?? :confused: :mad:

And, Han Solo wearing the same pair of pants (quite nicely, I might add) through three Star Wars movies - while Luke and Leia go through about eleventy-seven thousand costume changes each - does not make any sense.

OT, I saw in the paper a couple weeks ago that the actor that played Chewbacca just became a US citizen. Lives here in Texas someplace.

Not only that, but the forrest moon of Endor is just a matte painting on glass.

:eek:

No way! OK Mr. smart guy, if Endor doesn't exist, then where do all those cute furry little bear creatures live, huh?

How about great Canadian tracks, Mr. K. Does Mosport ring a bell to 'ya?

Too close to Toronto. They need a different market.

Too scary with ground effects through corner 2. What if the ground effect... didn't? :eek:

Not really.

They're even thinking of taking that "title" away from Pluto.

Disney said they're going to sue....

Montreal paper has KK saying IF CC can't come to agreement on Montreal for '07 that doesn't mean they can't race somewhere else "in Quebec." Where is St. Hubert airport? What's it look like? C'mon whiz kids, lets throw up a layout or two!
