Farewell Champ Cars - LBGP ‘08!

view all photos from the weekend!
Last weekend was the annual trip to the Long Beach Grand Prix. It marked the last time the series known as “Champ Car” will be headlining the weekend. The Champ Car World Series is now defunct and some of the teams/drivers are joining the IRL. Next year we’ll see whatever the result of joining the two leagues will be. That will be exciting to have one open-wheel, but it was bittersweet a little bit as Champ Car had forged it’s own niche and was starting to develop a nice fan base. I’ll spare you the whole story about the guy behind the whole mess of splitting the big Indy car league into two leagues long ago, only to proclaim himself the hero this time around by taking credit for the merger. Blah!
For the weekend I just went on Saturday and Sunday this time, both with my Dad and Brother. We always have a great time. I snapped a ton of photos, but only uploaded a select few. Check’em out!
Monique took our baby girl up north to visit the masses for the long weekend. They made the huge journey by car — I’m usre that was one LONG trip! Both of them did great though, and I’m happy to have them home safe.
