    Yes. Great news for WSBK's. I disgree with Indy, but the world presence of 2 wheel racing in the US, has been huge. Great track with Max Biaggi. Couldn't feel better.
    What is Indy?

    Really good news. It's supposed to be a real good track and facilities and it is certainly picturesque. Plus, WSB really needs to head back to the US (and other countries) to re-establish it's credibility as a WORLD championship and not just a European championship with a couple of fly away rounds (Qatar and Aus). The main concern is how much crowd support they will get in Utah.

    are you kidding?

    The track looks quite flowing, so should be good.

    Is this picturesque enough for you?



    It could use a little more grass to add some colour I guess.

    It's great to see WSB back in the US. Looks like a good circuit too - shame it doesn't have the elevation changes of Barber though.

    Will they be using the 4.5 mile circuit?

    I think it is a very good opportunity for WSB to move into the North American market.

    Hope the Yanks support it!

    Woah, never saw those there before! No denying theyre great looking. But the track itself is still horribly ugly.

    You'd hope they would do a little landscaping to colour the place up a bit. It looks like they are racing in a quarry, albeit with a magnificent backdrop!
