ALMS proved you can create a classic from scratch with PLM so why not do it again

I fully agree with this. The WEC is to thin with Le Mans being the only event carrying any weight on it's own. Since the WEC didn't manage to get any of the US classics I think they really need to create a couple of their own, 18 hours of COTA (or Road America) would be nice as would say 8 hours of Suzuka(or Fuji), Mil Milhas or something like a 12 hour race of Potrero.
Please note I don't think the race lenght is very important in it self but it's an easy and clear way of making the event stand out from the "gray mass" that's the calender ATM.
