Look at MotoGP. When they come to Indy it sells out - something F1 never achieved. When they go to Laguna Seca it sells out. MotoGP is the F1 of motorcycle racing. What's the difference? MotoGP's image isn't crafted as some kind of ultra pretentious snob fest.
i was @ Indy for the 2000 Inaugural USGP ..... there were 200,000+ in attendance that day (Sunday)
That's the record for a single GP day.
