KEISSER: IRL gives LBGP a new feel

Today's post-Prix edition of The Sporting Muse: I took a walk through the crowd Sunday during the Long Beach Grand Prix in an effort to take the event's temperature, and was thinking about any Mercury rising.

Bob, I could not agree with you more. I was a die hard CART fan. The race and the atmosphere was not quite the same as in years past. I will always be a fan of CART, and pray that Paul Tracy get a full time ride very soon.

I'm glad everything is settled. I applaud the race promoters. I've been going for 22 years. I can't wait until next year. I spent a ton of money. PLEASE, can we reconfigure the track to create some passing?

Good article, one correction thats Dale Coyne racing not Dake Coyne. Yeah I had come to that realization a few years ago, that its a new era and things might not be the same but it is what it is. These are good drivers and its not fair to hold the past against them. I think Unser Jrs last run at the 500 a couple years ago is the last we will see of the Greats.... its a new era indeed...
