As a guy origionally from the midwest... looks good to me. I'm a bit bummed the Kentucky race got removed from the Ohio weekend. That course is a blast but last year just didn't add up for the weekend's atmosphere. Not to mention, with more races in the central part of the country I can throw the excuse of "going to see family" as a reason to head to wisconsin, and "going to visit friends" in the northeast more!

I like the friday addition to Jingle Cross. May have to make it out there this next year. Time to start hunting down some monetary sponsorship I suppose.

That's great Mitch. I was just going to ask you about that.

I don't know how it didn't add up for the weekend. The races were on a school day, you're just not going to get that many people out. I think from a spectating design standpoint those might be 3 of the best races I've ever been to. Some venues have a natural point from which to watch but those races *created* one.

As a Chicagoan, I am really excited to have two of the USGP weekends within a 5 hour drive. How many months until cross starts again?
