Uh, yeah we do, it's called an enduro at Indy. NO ONE asked for that other than the money folks. If you think anyone said hey, Indy is nice in September, let's go there instead of Mosport in July cause all the fans love Indy, well I got a bridge and some land to sell ya.

And for IMSA, make it a true North American series... keep MoSport as is with the P2/P3, and for the GTP/GT3, Montreal Circuit Villeneuve. And to really... "spice things up", how about late April/early May with a Tex-Mex racing deal. COTA first, then Hermanos just in time for " Cinco de Mayo". Now that gives a great party atmosphere to a race weekend.

Well Montreal appears to be out, they only get I think 2 weekends a year for races and one is F1. Nascar ran for a while but it's been over a decade and Montreal has stuck with just F1 it appears. COTA did not seem to care about IMSA, and WEC was received as well there as Qatar. And NASCAR runs in May now so getting support for both would be a challenge and they can't really share the weekend with all 3 series coming in. SRO and TransAm make it work but both of them run to fairly empty houses, TransAm at Road Atlanta you get to pick where you want any time, it's nearly empty
