Supercross was half created simply so people could go to one spot and watch everything at once. And it's a fuckin kickass show to boot too!

It's hard for me to see a pro road race simply due to lack of tracks currently, while Supercross has 2 stops within 3hrs of driving distance of my place. But all that changes in 2013 we will have MotoGP/WSBK at the Circuit of Americas just 20min up the road from me.
I have just never liked dirt. I cant get into it.

I have two tracks. Mid-Ohio and Indy. Your race is about to steal my race.... fucker.

AMA took away the two races that I always looked forward to going to - Race 2 at the end of the season at Laguna and California Speedway.

They dropped (or lost, depending what you read) Road Atlanta this year, too. Bad move.

I would wager there are more fans show up at a WSRMC event at Willow Springs...

I agree that the schedule is too lax with too many requirements for a track promoter to hurdle to want to put on their show. The racing is better than it has been for 3-4 years but there are no big names there...remember when top European riders would come over for purse money? Haha no longer...
