IROC to be Auctioned

[67z28]

I came across an article about the International Race Of Champions auctioning off all there assets. It's kinda sad to see the series be killed off finally since it's been around for about 3 decades. Needless to say there should be some nice equipment and race cars for good deals. www.irocracing.com (http://www.irocracing.com)

What happened to it? Why is it ending?

More detail if you follow the link, but the Cliff notes version is for lack of sponsorship.

I thought Crown Royal would be the shot in the arm that the series needed when the came on a few years ago, but I guess the cost-benefit of a partial schedule with Roush won out.

it's being replaced by NASCAR. :bsjerk:

NASCAR? Don't you mean the "Cookie Cutter Go Cart Series"?

[fiorano]

well aside from that- one of these would be awesome- but how can you not run a series like this
the ALMS could easy run these...but wait the france family screwed IROC up why would they do any thing intelligent...oh wait they can run in Grand Am uh i don't think so...

X2 way too commercial, and nothing in common with with real cars. I hope they will put the "stock" back in it, but not holding my breath.
That might even bring the old theory "race on Sunday, sell on Monday theory back into practice Lord knows the OEM's could use all the help they can get!

Too bad about IROC. It is a total "drivers" series, and I was hoping to see a new version of one with the new Camaro :crying:
