2008 Grand Prix Of Houston Canceled
POSTED: 8:44 am CST March 4, 2008
HOUSTON -- The red flag has been waved on the 2008 Grand Prix of Houston, KPRC Local 2 reported Tuesday.
Grand Prix officials made the decision to cancel the event after the unexpected unification of the Champ Car World Series and Indy Racing League, leaving Houston off the schedule.
Officials said there's hope for 2009.
"We are saddened and disappointed to have to make this decision, but we remain optimistic that we will have the opportunity to bring the American Le Mans Series and the Indy Racing League to Houston in 2009," said Michael T. Lanigan, owner and chairman of the Grand Prix.
The event was set for Reliant Park in late April. Ticket holders will get a full refund.

ALMS is not coming either. We are getting screwed completely this year. I hope Tony George rots in hell. He's done more to destroy good racing in the US than NASCAR has.

Sebring would be cool but I can't get away. I would have had to plan it well in advance. With only so many days off a year, I try to reserve at least a week to be gone in the summer and a few days for Sevenstock. That leaves me with a couple extra to do with as I please. I don't want them all spoken for so early in the year.
