I couldnt agree more. Ditch more road courses and bring more ovals.

Why, because the princess can't handle them?

I prefere short ovals over intermediate ovals, so i would be happy with it. I believe the driver prefere them also, because they play a bigger part there.

I know it will make some poster's head explode but the # don't lie. Adding more ovals is not the way to go.
4 ovals races a season is more than enough.

I love any oval track where they have to lift off of the throttle.

I could not disagree more regarding this statement than I already do with you in general...
I call your attention to one of the finest books ever written about auto racing: linkie: http://www.amazon.com/Golden-Age-Ame.../dp/0768000238
The Golden Age of the American Racing Car by Griffith Borgeson
In this book, he describes the short 1/2 to 1-mile wooden board high-banked tracks of Southern California such as Beverly Hills, Culver City etc.. FAILED and I distinctly remember his analysis of why this type of racing ultimately failed...
paraphrasing...http://autoracingmemories.com/forums...&pictureid=905
The racing was very exciting... but the crowds got bored... Ultimately is was NOTHING BUT SQUIRRELS RUNNING AROUND IN A CAGE...
That's what I thing about 7/8-mile squirrel rings like Ioway (too small even to call a "bull" ring... Boring hamsters in a cage. Count me out !!!

I dont know how anyone can get bored with the fast speed of side by side racing, especially going 3 wide on an oval. Its much more exciting than seeing a parade of cars driving on a road course playing follow the leader.

1 pass on a road course is much more exciting than cars droning side-by-side, lap after lap on an oval.
