Try living here where they tried to have that race back in June. It's still getting airtime on the local news just about every night for various reasons, and the race was nearly a month ago. ![Sad](https://ls1tech.com/forums/images/smilies/LS1Tech/gr_sad.gif)
No one here in Indiana really cared about the race in the first place, now we still have to hear about it after it never happened. I like to watch it on television from time to time, but have little desire to make the 1 hour trip to see them in person.
