Hey! Look at Frankie Muniz!:eek: He's actually posted a pretty decent time! I only learned of his involvement with the Atlantics a couple of months ago.

For those of you who don't know, Frankie played the role of Malcolm, in the syndicated TV show, 'Malcolm in the Middle'.

Oohh. Kevin Lacroix is quicker than Greg Mansell. I smell trouble in the making. :lol:

Dude! You gotta start following the Atlantics! We've got 5 Canuckdian's in the field this year. Granted, we have no tv package. (a rant for another day) But you can watch the races live via the CCA site on race day.

Heck, Daniel Morad was in the car for only his second time today, and posted the 9th quickest time!

No, but I suspect SPEED will show most/all the races at some point on tape delay.

I think CC has an agreement with a competing network which is bad for everyone. CC really needs to be carried live on speed though.

oh well, whatever.

I'll just stick to watching Star Mazda on SPEED then.

that is correct. The exclusive and shitty deal with ESPN relegates the CCA races to ESPN 2, all severely tape delayed. The only way to catch the races in Canada is to watch via the website. (at least it's live that way... :rolleyes: )

Good plan! Hands down some of the best AOW racing of the season last year!!
