No Milwaukee? Hmm... it really turns me off of the series. Of course, they haven't been at Michigan and Fontana in ages, and those tracks in my mind must be a part of the triple crown of 500 milers.
Ideal IndyCar schedule
1. Long Beach
2. Fontana
3. Las Vegas
4. Indianapolis
5. Milwaukee
6. Cleveland
7. Toronto
8. Montreal
9. Michigan
10. Mid-Ohio
11. Elkhart Lake
12. New Hampshire
13. Edmonton
14. Watkins Glen
15. Australia (Gold Coast)
16. Motegi
17. Phoenix
18. Vancouver
19. Rio Oval
20. Laguna Seca
Put 'em on ovals that WORK for IndyCars, put 'em in markets that attract crowds AND SPONSORS and make sure that there is consistency and history in the schedule.
I really hope Terry Angstadt puts Milwaukee on the schedule in the open date. It would be a sort of "leading loser" for the IndyCar series. Sure it loses money, but the attraction to the quality of racing, and the history on that track and building it as one of the staples of the championship for the future could be invaluable.
