I love the track, too, but it's not exactly a center piece, make or break proposition for the series. Say, like Indy or even Long Beach, as far as CART is concerned.
Scheduling Road America is not what's going to lure back the casual yet vital sector of CART fans - afterall, I believe they fill the majority of the seats & bring up our TV ratings. A replacement for RA in a more populated area, may however further help such a cause.
Road Atlanta or others may prove more lucrative and popular in the long run - this of course, not accounting for the feelings of CART afficionados.
In terms of fan-base & TV ratings, it could be worse, say if we had lost Long Beach. That said, I'm willing to sign any petition, whether deemed helpful or not, for CART to stay at RA. In the end, someone above hit it on the head by stating, if CART is owed money, why race at a track owned by a conniving deadbeat?
