I have also road raced motorcycles and much prefer the more complex challenges of road racing, but to say the circle track drivers aren't doing something complex and difficult just isn't fair, even if it is boring for the un-initiated to watch.

I agree with both of you 100 %.
It's definitely not my favorite type of racing but I do keep up with it somewhat since I live right in the middle of it and know several people in the business.
