Why LVMS's road course, just race downtwon like the Champ Cars did, pretty good show, needed some tweaking. Miami used to draw, maybe it was too close to Nascar.

Tony George and co. are sitting on the single greatest opportunity of their professional careers and they have apparently blown it entirely. How on earth could you ditch Nashville for Toronto, then not try to get two of the best ovals in the country (at least for indy racing), all while extending the schedule by a month? There are four extra weeks in there somewhere that aren't being used at all, but they're not adding any races at all? Can't wait to hear Darth Miller's opinion on this one... Wow…just wow.

Basically the IRL gave the reason as our limit is 18 races. I honestly think Gossage made up that parking lot road course comment. I hope he did, because that is most idiotic thing I've heard since the Champ Car Philadelphia street race. The problem I have is if cost is an issue, why are they wasting money going to Motegi (I hate that track) and Australia? Dump those two, pick up Vegas (oval), New Hampshire, and Road America or Cleveland while you're at it! FOOLS! http://blogs.courant.com/autoracing/2008/07/no-indycar-series-at-new-hamps.html

This year's schedule was decent, but adding Toronto doesn't suddenly make it a first-class schedule. The decision to lobby for the Vegas ROAD course is ridiculous, as I think a finale in Vegas would have been superb. Heck, opening in Vegas would have been superb; better than the boring street course in St. Pete that features little passing. I guess I got my hopes up for nothing. Man, this sucks.
