I agree with Terry, it only takes a second to write them a *** response on
their website, and if they get enough of a response perhaps they'll at least
give us a picture in picture shot of the ending of a race, if not the race
in it's entirety!

Seriously, though, this was outrageous. They'd NEVER do that with a
NASCAR race, which really ticks me off

LOL! What a concept -- equal opportunity preempted racing. I wonder
if they'll make any effort to differentiate between which series it is
they're cutting away from??

I found Paul Page's comment interesting.
Words to the effect of, "You cannot run over 20 minutes into
the next broadcast so we have to go now."
Rather two-faced of ABC since they ran over 20-25 minutes into
the Cleveland race coverage and missed the start of the race.
With GOLF no less! ABC acts like CART is a second class "we'll-
cover-it-if-we-have-the-spare-time" series, and that kind of
attitude will keep CART television viewership in the toilet
forever.
Stupid programming twits.

All things considered, especially the money aspects, Tony George will
probably fare better than whoever is running CART by then. However,
the big money will still be golf. Got to remember ratings value, and
in the US open-wheel racing is not being effectively marketed
(apparently).
