IROC to liquidate with auction in New Jersey
 

TINTON FALLS, N.J. -- The International Race of Champions officials announced Tuesday the all-star auto racing series will liquidate all tools, equipment, race cars and memorabilia in a two-day public auction March 7-8 at IROC headquarters in Tinton Falls, N.J.

The IROC series has been dormant since the conclusion of the 2006 season due to lack of sponsorship.

much like nascar, the 'excitement' has been gone since feb '01

I always thought it would be great to use that series as a "Seniors" series. The best way to get the diehard/old-school fans back would be to bring back their heros on a limited basis with no equipment investment on the part of the drivers.

Sorry to disagree. But anybody who thinks one driver created all the excitement must never have been involved in any motorsports, or watches many races.

It has not been the same, and no one driver has stepped up to the plate with E's ferocity, commitment and determination -
but stand at the fence when 43 pass by at full throttle, or watch 10/15 cars battle fender to fender at close to 200 mph -
if your not excited - your dead!

NASCAR is not the same anymore IMO, Daytona 500 was BORING and like every other restrictor place, the whole race was the last 10 laps. No individuality anymore, COT and all that, they can keep it. Did hear a rumor of bringing back some incarnation of a Trans Am series with the new Challenger, Camaro and Mustang, might make things interesting.?

I always see vintage SCCA style racing...... Why not bring some vintage NASCAR racing out and about! I would love to see 64 Galaxies and mid 60's mopars battling it out on the tracks of today!

I haven't watched NASCAR since they started slowing down cars to make the field more competitive.... that's not racing... give them a rule book but let'em go wild with their imaginations... racing is about innovation and adapting... NASCAR is about entertainment.
