My 2006 wish list for the Champ Car World Series

1) obviously, a safe season for all the drivers, crew and personnel
2) someone put a fork in the IRL for good. This is getting tiresome.
3) That Andrew Ranger can be more consistent and really show off his skills. He’s still just a kid and was plagued with some misfortune last year, but he’s the real deal and could factor for a top 5 placement
4) That someone get that horshoe out of Seabass’ ass! The guy is the fastest driver on the planet right now, no question about it. He’s also the luckiest.
5) That reporters decide to withhold their “story” until whatever they speculate can be confirmed instead of the usual “I heard this” and such. Then again, I guess this wish goes much beyond just the world of auto racing.
6) That Mario Dominguez finally be named “Mexico’s sexiest athlete of 2006”. Why? I have no idea. I just think he’d like that.
7) That 40 thousand people show up at Road America on race day
8) That the Face of Champ Car finally acknowledges my presence and, for some weird reason, thinks it would be cool to hang out with the ‘Voice’ of Champ Car. (you know, face and voice? Makes sense, doesn’t it?)
9) That the Montreal promoters don’t deny Montrealers the opportunity to attend the race like they did in 2005
10) Three more American drivers are added to the series. I know the forums and chatrooms have talked about this a lot and I truly believe it’s important. I know we are a ‘world’ series, but we still race predominantly in the States. If we raced 90 percent of the time in Sweden, wouldn’t it make sense to have more Swedish drivers? I say this because the talent is out there. There is no shortage of great American drivers right now.
11) That Jimmy give it one more year.
12) That Ryan Hunter-Reay find a seat
13) That I don’t accidentally call it the “Molson Indy Toronto” at least 18 times during that race weekend.

Your wish list?

Hey Eric
Great list. I agree on the Mario and IRL and won't blame you for the Molson Indy comment I still call it that and I still believe its called Skydome damn it LOL I just want to add some of my own:
1) Micheal vallanti get a ride
2) That I win aton of money so that I can goto every race on the schedule next year.
3) That this year is my year for a Pace car ride since Carol already got her's

Hope your holiday was great

of course I totally agree with each thing on your list, especially #4 (Glad to hear I'm not the only one sick of seeing him constantly in the top 5) and #6 (He'd definitely like that--but then again, not each driver should have a title to match his ego--oh snap!). As for 8, does this mean you approve of beauty contests aka The Face of Champ Car?

My wish list:
-That I get to hang out with the voice of champ car as much as I did last season, more, if possible.
-That Mario makes it to a podium in Mexico.
-That Bruno makes a comeback that'll knock the wind out of Seabass.
-Nelson shows results that reflects why he's even in the series in the first place
....there's more... but i can't think of them...
