It is a shame, you're right, GoFeri --- it was really dramatic, that first year of "re-birth" (Champ Car hadn't run here since 2001). But, as you may know, the Grand Prix of Houston is a "double-header" with American LeMans, and they *will* be running under the lights on Saturday night in 2008!

Hi, LIanfifecan! I can tell you first hand that the Grand Prix of Houston is going strong, and I had a *lot* of very postive response to the phone-calling that we did before Thanksgiving. One guy bought, like, $1100 worth of tickets, the next day! :-D

Hi, Nobotura74! A big thank you from Houston for posting this --- I have long been curious about how the event came across on European TV, etc. Naturally, I wasn't watching TV at the time --- I was *there*! :-D I *so* wish that Champ Car would go back under the lights, but there are no plans for that (partly because Champ Cars are so loud that it disturbs people's sleep, if you run 'em at night).

Yeah, I think that ChampCar and other kind of racing like Rallys, Le Mans, F1, etc. are beautiful at night, but there are some problems: it isn't very secure for drivers, the times are difficult for people who watch the race, and lighting it's very spend.
Thanks for comment and sorry for little english :P

Your English is fine, and I'll try to keep mine simple *chuckle!* One more thing about the lighting --- American LeMans *will* continue to run at night, but, of course, the GT and Prototype cars have working headlights, where Champ Cars don't. I can see where the open-wheel guys might've complained about this, because, while we *did* have a lot of light on the track, the glare was very "un-natural" and messed with your depth-perception.

lol, for F1, I was wondering what a challenge it would be to incorporate a single powerful light into the front of the car. That way if the budget teams could get a reliable light and the good teams' lights failed (earning a black and orange flag) we could have an upset on our hands. Obviously not, but just daydreaming..

Frankly you're kind of in a race to die first, adn frankly mostly ovals (IRL), and mostly street circuits (CCWS) is boring. With a merger you could have a good mix, plus some of the classic American race tracks. Yes to the merger.
