Your right about the double headers I guess. I know they had double headers back in the day, I guess i'm just overly sensitive to being seen as a lower series when compared to F1 (i'm an F1 fan too and i've heard a lot of other fans say that). I guess Toronto and Houston aren't so bad but I think a more historic race like Detroit should be kept as a stand alone event because thats what it always has been. I wouldn't want the Grand Prix of Long Beach to become a double header for the same reason.
I don't think you need to worry about Indy being seen as inferior to F1, as the powers that be in F1 (mainly the midget from Suffolk) work hard enough on making F1 a laughing stock with their double points gimmicks and whatnot.

As for Indy. I think the sure way for it to die is returning to an all-American affair. The best days for American openwheel racing were the early and mid nineties. In 1993 the Champcar series had more F1 champions on the grid than F1 itself (3 vs 2). The best American drivers (Mike and Mario Andretti, Little Al, Robby Gordon, Danny Sullivan, Bobby Rahal, Jimmy Vasser etc) duked it out with the best talent from other countries. Champcar was the vastly superior product in comparison with F1, until Tony George and his henchmen did the 'Divide' part for NASCRAP to 'Concquer'.
If Indy wants to regain any sort of recognition again, it'll have to come from the dang foreigners as in Americaland itself it doesn't stand a chance against that Redneck pandemic called NASCRAP. Tony George made sure of that in 1996.
