Texas twin 150's?
That is what Robin Miller was referring to tonight.
More bang for the buck. Spice it up. I like it.
Good move, I think.

A little blast form the past have not seen this idea since early years of CART. Cool idea I like it but they need to bring back the triple crown also. Nothing like a driver trying to win each 500 mile race in one season. A feat that has only been done once in Indycar history.

Maybe if they could get a couple more 2.5 mile ovals back on the schedule worthy of a 500 miler they could consider the triple crown, but I don't see that anywhere on the horizon with what appears to be happening between Indycar and ISC. I just can't see Texas or any of the 1.5 mile SMI tracks being a 500 miler. If you take ISC out of the equation, that leaves Pocono and a race at Texas World Speedway as the only super speedway options which is about as likely as my landing on the moon for my birthday.
some time ago We mentioned something like Indy, LongBeach and Road America as a triple crown, i.e. the grandaddy of each discipline, but that just screams desperation, kind of like the oval and road-course championships.HINCHTOWN!!

If Fontana replaces the lost Chase for the Cup race with an IndyCar race, it should be a 400-miler.
If IndyCar ever hosts two races in a weekend, the second one should be longer and award more points. Each weekend should have one winner. Don't copy WTCC and FIA GT1.
If IndyCar evver adds a mini tournament, I believe that it should represent all track types: ovals (Indianapolis), temporary (Long Beach) and permanent roadies (Watkins Glen or Road America). To begin, I'd give 100-70-55-45-35 points to the top 5 finishers at those races and 10 points for the pole.Nitropteron - Fly fast or get crushed!

The format will be like the old races of the 1970's. The twin-feature format is a tried and true short-track format of Saturday Night races.

Speak for yourself Tony.
You don't speak for me.
