Why only 15 races?
Ok Edmonton is gone, or is it on?
What other races might be added for 2011?
Any ideas or rumours?
there's alot of races like Fontana and Michigan, Surfers, Detroit, and others that are not on the schedule, will they ever be back on?Indy cars says bye to Sky. Yeah baby.......

Surfer's is a loss...Detroit and the ISC tracks in a sense are not.
It is what it is...better to have 15 strong events than 20 with 5 with sparse crowds...."Water for my horses, beer for my men and mud for my turtle".

Agree with having 15 packed races rather than 20 sparesly attended. I'd love to see Road America, Elk Hart lake on the Calender, Cleveland etc.
From what I've been reading this year the series seems to be getting stronger especially with GM coming back and Lotus doing there thing, I wonder if that will help bring more sponsorship and a few additional circuits.
I haven't been able to see any races other than on the internet, and they are lloking good, I still miss my CART/ChampCAR but i think Indy Car is doing a great job.Indy cars says bye to Sky. Yeah baby.......

Road America is a must if anyone has any brain in that organization.
Keep it fast, keep it real!!!

As much as I want to see proper, major league open wheel races at Road America again, I'd prefer to wait until the new car is ready. I don't want to ever see a picture of the current Dallara defiling the beauty of Road America.

Edmonton was officially removed... until it has been officially re-instated, and the final race still hasn't been confirmed, if there will be a race after Kentucky. Personally, I think trying to go head to head for TV viewers with College and NFL football for more than a month is pointless. You'll never get decent Sunday ratings (or airtime for that matter) on network tv, let alone cable against the NFL.

Yeah, the schedule officially says 15 races, but it is expected to be 17 races when the schedule is finalized. Edmonton is supposed to return to the calendar (although I don't know exactly if it's gonna be on July 24th like it was originally supposed to be) and Las Vegas Motor Speedway is predicted to be the season finale on October 16th.
But since their hasn't been an absolute announcement that these two races will be added, IndyCar technically has to say that there are 15 races as of now.
