I'd love to see them add a race at the Indy road circuit - maybe the same weekend as the bikes? The track doesn't have the best layout, but it's close to home!

I'm talking IMSA, not Nascar.
I don't think they'll add another race this year. If they did, it would probably be another Road Atlanta race.

Yeah I don't see why the NASCAR season is so long. How exciting can it be seeing cars go in circles so many times a year.

I'd love to see more races in the ALMS as well. I am able to drive to 3 races a year such as Sebring, St Petersburg and Petit Le Mans but I still want more!!! The idea of ALMS cars at Indy sounds cool but would they even think of running another Roval? There is great road courses out there I'd like to see ALMS race at such as VIR, Watkins Glen and even bringing back Infineon Raceway too.

You picked three good races to attend. I haven't been to Sebring since 2006, but my annual three are St. Pete, Mid-O, and Petit.
I can't wait for next weekend - the IRL race will be the icing on the cake.

I can't wait for st pete as well. I wish I could get there earlier than Saturday morning though. I was really impressed with how the st pete race is organized.........hope this is a ALMS regular on their schedule.
