Something to ponder. It's my opinion that with the demise of the Detroit GP this year & the recent failures of San Jose, Houston, Las Vegas & Phoenix we have seen the last ever new OW street race attempted in the US.

With a few rare exceptions they just don't work. The start up cost is high, you are at the mercy of city politics, the courses are often micky mouse and the "fans" they attract often fair weather fans who don't actually follow the series but are just out for a day of sun and fun.

Does anyone out there think anyone will ever again attempt an OW street race in the U.S.? Or will St. Pete & Long Beach be it?
