Joey if you read it out loud it sounds like you are saying he is wrong about an evening race in PST being midnight EST etc. etc.

Well, he is, because a night race on the west coast doesn't start that late, for the simple reason of so many viewers on the east coast, and I doubt many of them (excluding the diehards, of course) would want to stay up until midnight to see a race, and then stay up until 3 or 4 in the morning just to see the race through. That's what my point was. I guess I didn't word it right. I wasn't attacking - or attempting to attack - his knowledge of time zones, but rather the idea that a west coast night race would start so late. It would drive the casual fans away. I'm something of a casual Atlanta Braves fan, and lord knows I don't normally tune into Braves games when they play one of the west coast teams at night. It's too late for me to watch. The diehards would watch, but the casual fans would wait for the rebroadcast, or find out what happened on Sportscenter. That's what my point was. It may not have been properly worded, but that's what my point was.

I like the idea of going back to Fontana, but I would've loved to see Laguna Seca back. I know most of you say it is a shit track for racing, and I somewhat agree with that, but I just loved that place...

Same here. Dump Sonoma.

It's got the Corkscrew, who cares if its not a good track for racing.

Patrick Carpentier will retire after the Nationwide race in Montreal

Just looking at the new layout for the race in Edmonton after this weekend's Toronto race and gotta say, it looks epic.

Id lol if that grandstand was actually that close to the circuit at the hairpin.

Grandstand? Or ramp?

After today, it's obvious that they're trying to repeat the Fearless at the 500 stunt for the Canadian fans.

2 straights and a pit lane on 1 runway.That's a bit tight.

Looking at the right side: You could easily do a clevelandlike track here...

Jeff Krosnoff died 15 years ago. Touching story by Adam Cooper, a friend of his:

What in the blue hell?

My suggestion:

Yeah, I know they can't use both runways...

They changed the layout so they now use a closed runway and keep the active one open. The new track should have much more overtaking chances

New track looks good IMO.
