Honda Quits F1!!

Elkhart Lake, Watkins Glen, Mid Ohio, Mazda raceway boring? I don't think so. Indy use to be a great race at one time before TG got involved. I still remember 250K in attendance for pole day. Those days are long gone thanks to Mr G.  Although I'm not a big oval fan I would have to say most of the street circuits besides Long Beach are just as boring as the 1 1/2 mile ovals. No room to pass, concrete barriers, short straights, and tight corners leave little excitement for race fans.   What you need is a good mix of road courses and different type of ovals , the way it use to be, before TG formed the IRL. I thought Nazerath was very entertaining and the pure speed at Michigan was tremendous. We now have many great road courses through out the country. Barber, Road Atlanta, could easily be added to the schedule. It would be neat to have a race like you suggest in Phila, but why bother when you have Thunder Bolt a few miles away. It's all there waiting for someone who has good business skills, who's a genuine enthusiast, and who is willing to create this by just making a reasonable profit unlike the greedy Mr E & T. Come on Rodger, you got everything it takes to bring open wheel racing to what it once was here in this great country!
