BullMan, you missed Mosport. The 2013 Sportscar calendars here include 17 venues, not 16. Therefore, to get down to 11, SIX have to be cut.

Again, the list:
1. Austin- 3.427 miles
2. Baltimore- 2.040 miles (without chicane)
3. Barber- 2.300 miles
4. Daytona- 3.560 miles
5. Detroit- 2.385 miles (long course)
6. Indianapolis- 2.534 miles
7. Kansas- 2.370 miles
8. Laguna Seca- 2.238 miles
9. Lime Rock- 1.500 miles
10. Long Beach- 1.968 miles
11. Mid Ohio- 2.258 miles
12. Mosport- 2.459 miles
13. Road America- 4.048 miles
14. Road Atlanta- 2.540 miles
15. Sebring- 3.700 miles
16. VIRginia- 3.270 miles
17. Watkins Glen- 3.400 miles

Of the alternates you mentioned, only three seem like even possibilities:
1. Mexico City- 2.747 miles
2. Miller- 4.486 miles or 3.048 miles
3. Sears Point- 2.520 miles

Bernie wouldn't allow anybody to steal his thunder in the least at New Jersey (3.200 miles). The rest are simply, probably too short for a combined field:
1. Houston- 1.700 miles
2. Portland- 1.964 miles
3. St. Petersburg- 1.800 miles
4. Toronto- 1.755 miles

The four that I think can be said are set in stone are Daytona, Sebring, Watkins Glen, and Road Atlanta. Apart from that, you could get some pretty wild swings regarding where they go next season.

Andy, the San Jose course was bad in 2005, but was comprehensively fixed for 2006 and 2007. You ought to also take a look at the transformation the IMSA circuit in San Antonio underwent from 1987 to 1990.
