Thread: A1GP Mexican GP 2008 Discussion

I wasn't able to catch this one but I see that Adam Carroll of team IRELAND won the feature!! YAAAaaaaaaaaaayyyYYYyy!!

And the day after St. Patty's day to boot.

I'm kind of surprised anyone from the team made it out of bed that day.

Nope. It was officially moved to the 15th this year by the Pope. Good job missing St. Patty's day Salty.

For the first time since 1940 -- and the last time until 2160 -- St. Patrick's Day will fall during Holy Week, the sacred seven days preceding Easter. Because of the overlap, liturgical rules dictate that no Mass in honor of the saint can be celebrated on Monday, March 17, according to the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops. Locally, the same holds true: There will be no Mass for St. Patrick on Monday in any Catholic church. All festivities scheduled around the feast day will be held beforehand.

The pope can't move the day. So there!

Besides, he moved the mass not the day.

Well officially all festivities connected with day were supposed to occur on the 15th.

But I don't think it makes much difference to the people who view the day as nothing more than an excuse to drink.

Isn't this and A1GP thread???

Possibly because he's the only talented Canadian to race in A1GP. I hardly consider Sean McIntosh to be of comparable skill, although he did win a race in A1GP's debut year.
