Monday before Mexico

As the series heads for the season finale this weekend, its going to be a bitter sweet event for most people. On the one hand, the end of racing season has come and that’s never easy. Although the off-season is relatively short, its still a long ways away on paper. Its going to be a good event, we know that. The track and the extra boost for the champ cars will provide great entertainment. I was actually surprised at the P2P boost because it seems like an incredible amount in my eyes. 100 extra horses will make a HUGE difference and should be interesting to watch the drivers go at it on Sunday. I suspect the first time they press the button they may get a little jolt in their system. With the championship already decided, I suspect drivers will feel they have very little to lose.

The schedule is, well scheduled to be released this afternoon at 3pm. As I write this, there are a few different examples of it floating around the internet. I like the 14 race schedule that includes two trips to Europe. I like starting the season in Long Beach (put your best foot forward). Hopefully this is a step in the right direction.

You just know Sebastien Bourdais is going to be faster than ever this upcoming race. You know he won’t rest for one second or hold anything back for his final champcar race. With some drivers in his situation, it wouldn’t surprise you if they held a little back, opting to play it safe. But not Bourdais. Not this guy. No way in hell!
