I don't have a problem with it, really. It's a decent transitional schedule. I love that Australia is back in the spring where it belongs. I'd dump Iowa and Richmond for Road America and NH, and finish in Vegas myself. I'd also dump Sonoma for Fontana if I could.

I'd also change the rules to make new smaller front and rear wings to lower the downforce and equalize the competition, put the Handford device on the cars for Kentucky, Motegi, Texas and Chicago, to take the droning boredom out of the 1.5 mi tracks, and hire Panoz to build a variant of the DP-01 for 2010. As long as we're stuck with the CW's for '09 we may as well make the best of it though by cutting some of the downforce to shake up the grid.

Then, put Paul Tracy in a competitive car for '09, 010, and 011, buy AJ Almendinger's and Scott Speed's contracts from Red Bull and I'd be one happy camper.

Too bad I'm not Tony George.
