Or maybe they were just discussing how Dan and Sebastien were getting on at the Race of Champions.

I don't think anything will happen before 2007. Only then will the pressure be on the IRL teams for movement if things do not shape up.

it doesn't mean anything.
They probably just accidentally bumped into one another |

I tried copying and pasting the URL contained in the first post in this thread onto the address bar of my Internet browser , but nothing happens.
In fact I have not been able to get into the home page of that web site at all . I have been trying for the last three or four days . The browser just hangs, it doesn't say it can't find the pages, which is very odd . I have not had any problems with any other local or international web sites in that period . Is their problem with that website, or was it just me? Thanks, Chris. |

Well, think about this for a minute.
They were "assigned" the same table at a banquet. It's highly unlikely that they were the ONLY ones assigned to that table, in that scenario. With other people joining them (whoever they were is immaterial), it's highly unlikely that it would have been appropriate to discuss any business there, if they had any to discuss. Therefore, KK's comment about it is probably correct. Not the big shakes some are making it out to be. |

It's more than likely no big deal. They were there simply to support their drivers.
It's like having the CEO of Pepsi and the CEO of Coca Cola having dinner together, and then all-of-a-sudden there's rumors of a merger! |

That's weird. And I'd like to think it is true. However the source is a reliable one. Obviously they were talking about unification, else it would have been stupid not to but if it was talk socialy, man I can't understand why them to would wish to talk together, this whole thing is beyond my mind. I need to go chizel my brain or something.

What source for what is considered "reliable" and why is it "obviously" they were talking about unification?
All that's been reported credibly is that they were at the same dinner table together at a banquet function around the ROC somewhere in France and that KK said the talk was merely "social." I don't know how they do banquet tables in France, but normally they seat eight or 10 in the U.S. Who were the other people at the table and why would it have been appropriate to talk unification around them? I imagine both were very careful about how they acted around each other in front of people. |

At first I thought it was just them two at a dinner table, so it would have been crazy for them to not have talked about it, unless you are from another planet..... |

Not having read the Autoweek article and just picking up only what I posted, they MIGHT have discussed business if they were the only two at the table, but why would they pick a place like an open banquet to even do that?

Oh good, another unification thread....
 How many times do KK have to state that Champcar is looking after Champcar related matters only for people to get the message..... Please.....not now, not during the month of may, can we never hear of the reunification word again...... It's quite clear that it's going to take one series to dissapear to get one open wheel series in north america...they've had numerous chances to merge and they've all ended up being "a waste of gas" so they're not likely to do so NOW..... |
