Arent some teams based in Indy area, making the race a kind a home race ? I think its a no brainer, put in ALMS, or Grand Am and AMA superbike, make and event out of it...

I think the Grand-AM's fell out of favor with IMS at some point, otherwise IMS would had been on their 2010 schedule.
I still feel ALMS would be a much better fit. The highest technologically advanced cars in North America fits right in with IMS, and they are simply more fun to watch.

Maybe IMS should host the SCCA runoffs.

Plus, here's what was said shortly after the Grand Am test at IMS:
Indianapolis – Do not assume that this week’s test of the infield road course at Indianapolis Motor Speedway means that holding a Rolex Grand-American Series race at the world’s most famous track is a done deal. But also do not rule out the possibility of a sports car race at IMS.
“Right now, we are not looking at it,” IMS spokesman Ron Green said of racing Grand-Am cars at Indy. “But, we have had unofficial talks about it for years with Grand-Am. I think they’d like to come. This test opens the door to that possibility at least.”
Could happen, Green said. Perhaps as early as the centennial celebration at IMS in 2011. Perhaps with a true endurance race.
“The test served its purpose,” Green said. “It was a compatibility test.”
When I heard about the test, I just never heard anyone from G/A say anything about 2010, and based on Green's comments, there's no reason why they should have. But like I said, I don't know."Every generation's memory is exactly as long as its own experience." --John Kenneth Galbraith

I would be all for an autumn IndyCar race at IMS, and it wouldn't matter to me whether it was an oval race or a road-course race.
