The problem with that, Dutton, is that CIRCL bills itself as the premier open wheel series. That suggests a "top dog" sort of thing and it becomes a bit of a quandry to explain why you are tagging along with series X.

Now that is not to say I think it a bad idea that CIRCL partners with ALMS/Grand Am/World of Outlaws as it would be great exposure - it just creates some marketing/perception problems. As if CIRCL needs more of them.

I think somebody needs to pick up the merger ball and run with it before CC drops out of the CIRCL equation.
