Yes, Rally America tried the traditional format in 2010 at New Jersey Motorsport Park. Some good racing and I thought a great venue but small crowds and no grandstand space to grow.
The interest levels went up significantly for X games vs. regular traditonal races. TV deal was different, sponsorship different and so on.
There will be a traditional style this year as well at Pocono Raceway and hopefully that will build a grass roots series.
