I don't blame the WEC for not wanting to be 2nd billing to a major endurance race and doubly so when having to race on a Friday. Unfortunately I think any other standalone venue is probably not going to be well attended and won't look like a major event.
I wish they could figure out how to just make the 12 hour be part of the world championship. But despite convergence, there is too much divergence in rules BOP and other factors to combine the races. And I don't think either party was happy with the result of the 2012 12 hour. IMSA would have to give up the 12 hour for the WEC to take it over and that's never going to happen. It's a shame really, but I understand it.
