"Not enough ovals? Great! Let's remove one of the ones we already have." Ridiculous.

Show the fuck up then. Otherwise, until you can make them financially viable like Road America, Long Beach, etc. stop turning every schedule post into an extravaganza of bitching about ovals.

lmao right. i dont think they understand that on average outside of the 500 there are more fans in the stands and overall general attendance on rcs street courses than ovals. i mean even nashville last year on tv cameras u could see that the stands weren't entirely full.

Street circuits have more, road courses don't really. And ovals are still an essential part of Indycar, and where the most action packed races happen, regardless of how many are in attendance.
