Subject: Re: Honda quiting F1 by CentralCoaster on 2008/12/5 4:30:34 The bad economy is affecting me too. CORR (Championship Off Road Racing) this weekend was cancelled. I was planning on going and *gasp* spending money. Assholes. The teams (and sports) that are barely scraping by to begin with will always be the first to bail out on the fans. Motorsports suffer bigtime because their income depends highly on performance. You don't see the Raiders cancelling the rest of their season, yet they suck worse than Rosie Odonnell in front of a camera. "Championship Off Road Racing has regretfully announced the cancellation of its final race weekend of the 2008 season scheduled to be held in Chula Vista, California on December 6th 7th 2008.Championship Off Road Racing, CEO Jim Baldwin made the following statement. The current national financial crisis has impacted our series to the degree that it has become impossible to produce the quality off road racing experience that our fans, racers and sponsors have enjoyed. While it has been our most sincere effort to hold this final event, every possible avenue was exhausted before reaching this difficult decision. Although we have been forced to prematurely end the current season, we are strongly committed to providing the ultimate off road racing experience on the most extreme tracks while continuing to grow the sport. We apologize to our sponsors, teams and especially to our loyal fans for any inconvenience that this has caused. Our commitment to this sport, sponsors, the teams, and fans that support us is unwavering. We will continue to vigorously pursue our objective: To build the most exciting nationally recognized short course off road racing series in the country. BLA BLA BLA... G.M.A.F.B! |
