    Brasil gone. Baltimore gone. Iowa in trouble. Others concerned. You think its time to get back to what once was or does it go goodbye for good?

    which "others" are concerned?

    good riddance to Brazil and Baltimore (IMO, there should be no races outside north america. Baltimore's track was half-assed and dangerous).

    losing Iowa would suck. if it were up to me the IndyCar schedule would have Iowa, Milwaukee Mile, Richmond, Phoenix and New Hampshire. love the short ovals. street circuits, not so much.

    I really think what killed Baltimore was USCR doesn't appear to be willing to go there.

    I think that everyone is losing money on Indy Car has had a greater impact on why they are losing tracks. I think we are seeing the end of an era.

    the only way IndyCar makes money is if they sell to NASCAR.

    I think your being a little optimistic. NASCAR wants to crush its competition. And based on current TV & attendance of Indy Car........they're doing a right fine job of it too!!

    Baltimore's track may have been have half-assed, but it was fun this year being a spectator (GT3 cars my favorite to watch). Close action and the hairpin imo was one of the best places to be. Hot as hell, but I'm glad I saw it as it doesn't appear to be coming back ever again. :(

    they crushed motorcycle racing by buying it. they did the same with sports cars.

    whats left? Indy and NHRA.

    Just heard that Juan Pablo Montoya is leaving NASCAR to race in the IRL next season on the radio. Couldn't hear the source.

    When Montoya moves back to Indy Cars, does the entire viewing Continent of
    South America go with him?

    On his move to NASCAR, it was said that Montoya's presence alone would quickly
    make NASCAR the most watched sport in South America and garner a huge Latino
    following.

    How'd all that work out?
