It's more like FIA helped kill World Sportscar, and Japanese factory money killed IMSA GTP.

And the question remains Bob, how the heck else can you possibly keep the exposure/presence up for Sportscar throughout the season in the US without more events than there are now (a lot of people have painfully short memories)?! Sportscar needs to make some kind of a dent in the motorsports landscape over here if it is to reasonably sustain itself. Staying in the limelight more consistently is ESSENTIAL to doing that.

Yes, there is a problem with the Memorial Day plan. Note that a number of the teams that do cross the Atlantic don't have two cars (Peterson White Lightning). Splitting teams hurts entries in the series here for that race, and that is the last thing we should be doing for an event at a track like Road America.
