I guess your geographical talent as well, eh?  ;]  Ontario is (was) in
California...
somewhere south of the Canadian border...  ;]

Toronto, on the other hand...isn't.

Cheers!

Hi all,

To get to the point...how come the converted Ontario Motor Speedway (NL)
and Toronto (ICR2/CART) have the -US- flag displayed on them!!! At least
Vancouver was correct. Ontario isn't a state...yet! Hopefully, someone
will give us new illustrations for these two. Any Canuk artists/drivers
out there who might take this on? I would, but all my artistic talent is
in my ears...8^)

Unless I'm daft, Ontario Motor Speedway is in or near Ontario,
California.

You're kidding right.  The Ontario Motorspeedway was a race track in
California's Inland Empire from about 1970 to 80 or 81.  It had a layout
almost identical to Indy.  It was also the home of one of the three tirple
crown events (indy, Pocono, and Ontario) for USAC champ cars (pre-CART).

Hi all, (eyes averted, face reddening)

OK,OK,  in a flurry of misplaced nationalistic indignation, I've rushed to
put my foot in my mouth (keyboard?) up to at least the knee and embarassed
myself and Canadians everywhere...

Yes, Ontario Motor Speedway is in California...however, last time I looked,
at least Toronto was still in Ontario, Canada.

Guess I should change the subject line of the message to "My 1/2 a beef with
the track converter."

Apologies all around, but my request for a new page for Toronto stands.
Guess I'll go have a beer and some back bacon now, eh?

Touche!

Well, I hope I at least produced a chukle or two out there. My only excuse is
that my only exposure to NASCAR/CART/Indy racing is through this group. I got
NL/NASCAR 99/CART (and N3 one of these days) -only- to convert the tracks. I'm
a GPL/formula fan. Guess I should have had a read through the NL book as well.
Oh well, live and learn.

I'm an Aussie, which means my in-depth knowledge of North american racing
ovals is pretty limited but I'm sure the Ontario Speedway is actually
located in California, not Canada?!  Is that correct?  I have memories that
it was once referred to as "the Indianapolis of the West" or some such term.

Anyway ....I'm sure it is in the USA!

 To get to the point...how come the converted Ontario Motor Speedway (NL)
Im sorry to inform yoo of this but the United States of America has invaded
your country, we now control all of Ontario, Toronto, Vancouver, and  the
Windsor bridge.
So allways carry American money, know the Pledge of Alligience by heart, and
look for the Stars and Stripes at a location near you!!

Oh, J.P., ....everyone down here knows that the Toronto track is located in
Toronto, a town near the N.S.W. city of Newcastle (north of Sydney)!
