Unbelievable!

Open wheel formula car racing is invisible in this TV land.

[Indyknut]

So add Carts 1.3 and the irls .6 and you won't get recognized for long in TV advertising land.

1.3 = number of households in millions that walked out of the tv room Sunday afternoon frustrated that their home team was losing badly, leaving the tv on..............

Why such a big drop? Don't they usually drop or go up .1 or .2?

Certainly not in the IRL's case.

yep

It's a shame c^rt chose the 'scorched earth' approach. It did not have to slip this far.

Umm what?

[akimbo]

Funny how CART's much vaunted 'scorched earth' policy seems to work to their advantage. Hmm, maybe they'll have to keep it up.

Tell us again exactly how they do it?

[The Beer Baron]

I guess the smaller TV markets had other out of town games to choose from or they just aint as sophisticated as city folk!

[Big Trak]

Give it to em. I saw part of it. It was no parade, thats for sure.

Anyway, since ovals are better, they should draw more, right?

[Truth Detector]

I have no idea what the answer to this is but I'm curious to know the ratings of the shows that led into the IRL's race vs Cart's race.

[Eagle104]

i'm surprised you've forgotten.

it's a good news/bad news type of thing.

good news = it was only women's soccer..not nearly as strong a lead as nfl

bad news = they finaled at nearly 2-to-1

(you asked.... )
