In a way I thought I was actually perhaps a bad idea to run the Long Beach
grace this year under such difficult cir***stances.
Seeing some comments from some people like Jimmy Vasser has turned me on
this issue, and I think the race is really a true farewell to something
that
we witnessed of a very great nature. I now think that the Long Beach race
is
really a great idea.
Like that story about those old soldiers that never die, but just fade
away
in our memories, the Long Beach race will truly be a final closing out of
the lights of this amazing chapter in American racing history.
I suspect very close after that period of time, this newsgroup which has
been around for a good many number of years will also begin to fade away
into history much like those buildings that one abandoned and we see the
weeds and grass and trees begin to over take it...
I tip my hat to many of you here of whom I shared my passion of CCWS with.
No matter how we slice and dice this whole racing issue, losing champ car
is
much like losing a friend of the family, and it's just we'll move on in
life, but will miss it every so often when something triggers a warm
wonderful memory of a summer day of racing that we had watching champ car.
It will be soon time to turn off the lights here, and it will be a sad day
to hear those incredible Cosworth engines sing and scream for the last
time.
Thank you to everyone here that's posted and made this a warm and
wonderful
place that I used to enjoy coming to almost every day. Of course in recent
years less and less people actually used newsgroups, and usenet, but this
place had some real haydays when champ car (CART) was simply one of the
best
racing series that the world ever had...
Perhaps some archaeologist or person sitting in a museum in 100 years from
now will stumble upon this post, and like that cute frog in the bugs bunny
hour that hops out of the box 100 years later and begins to saying "hello
my
baby...hello my darling....", there will be instant of enjoyment felt by
this person reading this of the joy we experienced over the years watching
this racing...
(here is that singing frog if you not seen him sing).
