Thankfully did not say that about IMSA. Which should be left out. For any track that has the Weathertech series, that race is either the first or second biggest weekend on their calender each year. Even at a place like Mid Ohio which gets lots of series to come to its playground, Indy car is their biggest race probably. But I'm sure the IMSA series ranks ahead of NASCAR Xfinity as far as their "biggest events" go.

Only places WEC might not be in the top two at the track is at Spa because of the Blancpain 24 hour, and maybe Silverstone because of MotoGP (which isn't fair in a comparison because motorcycle racing is depressing in America), I really don't understand the point of this post.
