Houston Grand Prix
Let me hear a big ho hum for the winner Bourdais and the NHL crew. Bourdais had everybody covered again with more speed than he really needed. Where oh where does that speed come from? Is NHL that good? Is it a combination?
Actually the real winner may have been young Rahal. The youngster took second behind his team mate Bourdais. This was only his second race in not counting the first which ended in a first turn crash. Perhaps he can beat Bourdais some day.
The crowd appeared to be good. The main grandstand appeared 80-90% full.
The TV coverage was reasonable. Did see a commercial for the upcoming IRL race though. Couldn’t help but wonder how that all works. If CCWS paid for the TV time would that be like paying for the IRL commercial? Did the IRL pay to advertise during the CCWS race? Did ESPN self promote the upcoming IRL race? Just seemed odd!
State of the series is still difficult to determine. Kate’s car still has no primary sponsor and some others may change or be dropped before Portland. Perhaps it won’t all be clear until 2008 or beyond.
Ok everyone it’s break time, plenty of time to rest up and track the rumors before Portland.

I would like to propose a link exchange with the fastest growing motorsport community.
We will place your blog in the World Racing Forum links directory, if you could add the link http://www.worldracingforum.com/ with the title "Racing Forum" to your links.
Let me know what you think :)
