Not sure I'd make plans for ANY day in the next few days at noon. That was some major misinformation.
Champ Car leader leaves Indy without deal

Champ Car World Series co-owner Kevin Kalkhoven left Indianapolis shortly before noon today after failing to strike a deal with Indy Racing League president Tony George to unify open-wheel racing in the U.S.
Kalkhoven could not be reached for comment, and George admitted to being "anxious" that details are still not resolved after a lengthy dinner meeting Thursday night at a downtown restaurant.
"We're still not where we need to be, and the more time passes the more challenging it becomes," he said.
George said the leaders of the two Indianapolis-based sanctioning bodies would continue working on the project, but he couldn't predict when it might come to a conclusion.
"We're still working just because he's not here," George said.
The IRL postponed a news conference today because George said there was no need to have one without all the details resolved.
"We want to have as positive of a press conference as we can have when we do have one," he said.
