Too much division to come to an end - I'm glad to see it before one went under.

I wondered what was happening when I read that the Circuit of the Americas was negotiating for the US FIA Race that typically has been held at Sebring (& Petit). The fact that a P1 Car wasn't even in the picture at the end of todays race in Baltimore tells the story that small fields & competition in Sports Cars had deluted the landscape

This stinks. I stopped watching ALMS because the races were both boring and confusing - too many classes on the track at once to keep track of. I stopped watching F1 for similar reasons - the races are boring because there is so little chance to change positions.

I've really enjoyed the Rolex Grand-Am series and it has become the only races that I faithfully watch. I was already waring of GA's announcement of adding another class next year, and I'm afraid that such a merger will sink a great series.

.... and those were just 2010-2012.

Of course, there is always the 2007 Sebring finish as well.
