Dream IRL Schedule?

Open it up in Homestead, then in whatever order works best, Long Beach GP, Kansas City, Indy (of course), Richmond, Iowa, Watkins Glen, Laguna Seca, Cleveland (Lakefront Airport), Mid-Ohio, 2 races for Canada, (whichever ones fit the best), Gateway Speedway, Texas, New Hampshire, Road Atlanta, Michigan and whatever else to fill the schedule. I'm torn between the Milwaukee Mile and Road America. Not much sense to have two races so close to each other, and I like both tracks. I know that's not 20, but I'd like to see Surfer's Paradise stay on the schedule. Haven't seen the NJ track, but if it's decent, I'm all for it. Maybe a race at Miller Motorsports park out in Utah

Pretty good picks there, but there is already rumors we heard out in Fontana that they are already interested in IRL and hopefully later on having a road course figuration at the track as well..The track president Gillian Zucker spoke about this at the Question and answer session while we all were waiting on Robby Gordon to show up for his question and answer, during testing in Jan.. They should keep the season starting in Homestead, and have Mid-Ohio, Road America,Mexico City would be great also. Texas, Chicagoland, Long Beach, Surfers Paradise, Indy, Kentucky,Michigan, Phoenix..Las Vegas, gotta have Vegas on there.Portland, the list is endless, maybe they could rotate some of the tracks each yr..

I live in northeast Ohio, and the popularity of the IRL race at Mid-Ohio in 2007 will probably mean Cleveland will not be on the schedule anytime in the future.

At Mid-Ohio, the race was delayed about 30 minutes due to the high volume of traffic trying to get into the facility on race day.

Also, in the 1990s, the IRL was used by Cleveland officials as a pawn to get a better contractual deal from CART - there was even a press conference announcing an IRL race date, which was later canceled, citing the temporary track could not be re-figured into a flat, mile oval.....so the politicians - many who are still in office - probably blew it for the city due to the arrogance/lies to Tony George.

Open in Homestead, Atlanta, Pheonix, Indy, Mid-Ohio, Road America, Toronto, Mexico City, Milwaukee, Watkins Glenn, St. Petersburg, Sonoma, Long Beach, Chicago, Iowa, and Belle Isle

I would love for there to be more Road Courses in the IRL

Everyone who has answered so far has the right tracks. But two are missing. California Speedway needs to come back, as well as Nazareth (if it hasn't been bulldozed yet!). I know Pikes Peak Raceway is history, so that one is out. Just adding my two cents, but I think California Speedway, if properly promoted, could outperform nascar attendance. People would pay to see Long Beach, as well as the speedway race.

I kind of like this year's schedule and, with Edmonton and Australia added, the Toronto race will top it off nicely next year (if AGR manages to pull it off.) Maybe after the 2010 Olympics, they will try to get Vancouver back too. (The street course there was clawed back for them, and they went to Edmonton.)

I really hope they keep the 4th of July event at Watkins Glen, as they put on an impressive display of fireworks -- takes your breath away!

The only thing my "selfish-little-self" would like to see changed is the amount of back-and-forth action across & up/down the States (between venues.) I drive to as many races as I can get to, and it's sort-of chaotic for that purpose. (You should see my poor AAA mapbook -- it's a mess LOL!)
