I think, obviously, the road courses and street courses are an easier transition because that's what the Champ Car teams specialise in doing. The mile-and-a-half stuff, the Champ Car teams are at a five-year disadvantage to Andretti Green and Ganassi and Penske and Vision, where they have experience with the car, knowledge with the car. They have hundreds of hours of wind tunnel time and just fine-tuning the machine for that type of venue, which is a venue that Champ Car had gotten away from in the last three years.

So, from that standpoint, I think St Pete was a good race for transitional teams. It was a track that we had competed at before. And now, going back, a couple of the teams did well at Watkins Glen on an unfamiliar circuit to Champ Car transition teams.

But now, you know, this coming weekend, a lot of the Champ Car teams have raced at Mid-Ohio, we've raced at Edmonton. I think you'll see a pretty good surge in competitiveness from a lot of the top teams. KV and Newman/Haas and HVM. I think they'll be pretty competitive at Mid-Ohio and Edmonton.

Q:
Tony, you talked a few weeks ago, maybe you'd like to try to do three or four races with PT. Is his contingent on how he's doing this weekend and would Subway be with him for more than one race?

TG:
Right now what's been contemplated is a one-race programme. Obviously, we can expand on that as time and resources permit. We did push this awfully close to being able to get done in time for Edmonton.

But Edmonton was the focus for all the obvious reasons that Mark and Derrick and Mike and others alluded to. But we'll see. I think we would be open to continuing to support that effort if the opportunity presents itself. Everything's just a one-race commitment at this point.

Q:
Was there any thought to that for next year for Subway?

TG:
This really came about as a result of some ongoing discussions that have been taking place. But nothing firm, nothing committed in any sense.

Q:
Derrick, Paul said this has been a 60-hour event. You're kind of used to that thing, going clear back to Willie T Ribbs, and how does it feel to get back into the big league of racing?

DW:
Well, it's good. About a couple of weeks ago, I had a conversation with Paul and I said to him the IndyCar train had left the station and we weren't on it. So Edmonton represents a chance to get back on the train. So we're looking forward to it because obviously we are, I think, open-wheel guys and it's a natural to want to migrate into the motor series.

There's a lot of benefits that have obviously been reaped from one series now. And, as Tony says, we're all looking forward. We're not looking back, as we always were, talking about what used to be. We're now looking at what can be. So we'd like to be part of it. And Edmonton gives us an opportunity to tell everybody a couple of old renegades still here looking to get back on the train, right?
