Zero Le Mans coverage!

Hi All,
Was Le Mans coverage as pathetically scarce everywhere as it was in
Montreal? Excluding Speed Channel/Vision, there was NO mention of it on any
local or national sports news, written, radio, or television. It's pathetic.
After all, it's only the most (OK, maybe 2nd most) important individual
automobile race in the world. Hell, the stock car races got coverage on all
fronts, and they're just a couple out of 17865 races in their series that
most Canadians know nothing about anyways. Canada ain't exactly the deep
South. For Le Mans, they could even have played the Canadian driver angle,
if they needed an "angle," as Ron Fellows co-drove the class-winning
Corvette. We even have 2 ALMS races within 500 km from here. Trois Rivieres
is less than 2 hours away. Way to build the interest level!
ARGH!!!
Cheers,
Brady Moffatt
