The race date was originally scheduled for Washington, DC, but DC was cancelled due to the local promoter problems, opposition from the local neighborhoods from the race car noise and crowds last year, and other things, if I remember correctly...
It is too bad, because the event last year (DC) was well-attended and it was a good race to watch....

I can vouch for that, I was there.
Pit passes were great, got to meet Calvin Fish, Scott Atherton, Milka Duno
, even was there for when Jan Magnussen did his stint for the win, even shook his hand just before he got in the car.
I was there when Don Panoz himself showed up at his team. I'll tell you the man is there for the fans, very personable & open. Even for an impromptu photo.
I say, PLEASE return to DC!! If the race returns, I'm first in line for tickets, and tellin' everyone to come.
