Proper oval racing, including lifting off the throttle and an outside line you have to work for but still possible to pass.

Good tast track, should've been there 2 weeks ago... ;)

They should make this the race after Indianapolis, for the sake of tradition

I thought Eddie Gossage kicked up a stink about always wanting the 1st race after Indy so I was surprised to see them head to Detroit first.

But yeah, totally should be Milwaukee first.

And then Detroit, Portland, Cleveland, Toronto, Michigan, Mid-Ohio, Road America, Nazareth, Vancouver, and Laguna Seca.

No love for Denver?

I loved that mile wide turn tbh, one of the underrated street tracks.

Yes it did. There was supposed to be an NHRA event there last year and a USAC Silver Crown event on the first of this month, according to Wiki.

Gateway is a unique track, a flat Darlington. Whether the crowd would come is a matter of debate.

Denver (Pepsi Center) is my favorite street circuit in the US actually. It's such a shame they don't run there. Wonder why they didn't run there in 2007? Lots of entertainment in the 2006 race thanks to PT and Le Chump. :lol:

The Civic Center (1990-1991) layout is odd.

From my hazy champcar memory (yeah...I don't remember EVERYTHING :p ) it was just a temporary situation and it was coming back in 2008.

One of the lost gems of the civil war I guess, along with Cleveland, Laguna and Road America
(And I'm still hoping they'll get back to the last 2 one of these days....)
