You're exactly right Liz, Street Courses are the big draws, & also set CART apart from other racing series at least in the US. Long Beach has been a huge party for years as well. Just look at Michigan. Provides some great close racing, but if you put on a good show in the middle of no-where with no amenities & can't draw the crowds, it isn't going to last. And please don't start on about NASCAR. They have a marketing jugernaut & a fan base that would follow them to Hell, though I don't know why.Whatever frosts your flakes, I guess. CART seems poised to add at least another street course (New York seems to be the front-runner).
