Texas will also host one race there on June 9th, no more twin race gimmick. Im glad, Texas was always a good race, there was no reason to mess with it.

Totally agree with you, DanicaFan. I'm glad the 228-lap race is back.

I will respectfully disagree. I have watched all of Formula 1 2011 races and most of IndyCar. Most of IndyCar street and road course races had been a big yawner, a parade show with some bumping action. Add to that F1's beautiful and unique cars of each team, beautiful venues, and action packed qualifiers, and the IndyCar is becoming a relative bore. At this rate, I might stop watching IndyCar after 2012..Quote:

The season finale might be held on a street circuit in Fort Lauderdale, BUT Milwaukee might be on the calendar as well! :D
IndyCar season may conclude in Fort Lauderdale | The Indianapolis Star | indystar.com
Don't know about the rest of you but even knowing its another race it's hard to get excited about another street race
I agree with that. I would love to see Milwaukee back but I have no interest in another street course....yawn...Quote:

Agree with you for 100%! Bring back Homestead! (And many other ovals...)Quote:

Now you've 2 mil to throw at series promotion
60k at IMS looks about the same as 15 at Milwaukee. Besides, that wouldn't be a street course. Hasn't a rule been passed that they can only add races that are street courses or something? Every potential race being talked about anymore is a street course. IndyCar seems to have been updated with a CC V2 patch.Quote:
