bobby Rahal at the fan forum??

I just read this on champcarfanatics and I must say...wow. Bobby Rahal will be fielding questions from champcar fans for 45 minutes?? For the first time since he left the series at the 11th hour in 2003, Bobby will be talking to someone other than the media with regards to ChampCar. this event is now worth the price of admission alone! and I get to host this thing?? Heck, i'd pay just to see it.

Bobby addressed the media today at the Press conference. It was the first time I ever heard him talk positively about ChampCar. Basically he said that the future of open-wheel racing is very bright (talking about the Atlantics driver) with regards to the quality of drivers in the Atlantics. It was the first time I heard Bobby use the term ChampCar in a positive light. it was almost weird to me. You see, Bobby has been to just about every race this year. Or, I should say, every Atlantic race. He is his son's number one supporter. He works with his son all weekend. He spreads the good word on the Atlantics, but has been mum about ChampCar. now he'll have no choice.

I don't know how to react to this and I am just looking forward to the event (11:45am Saturday). This thing should be televised! They should get Micheal Buffer to announce it!
Now, on champcarfanatics, the mood is obviously angry with some posters suggesting we be polite with Mr. Rahal and others are suggesting we either boycott or bring fruit to throw at him. last year, the Fan Forum in Cleveland drew over 400 people. The place was packed and its going to be packed again. I don't suggest boycotting because people are going to be there anyway. One thing I do know, this is going to be fun...
