Foxboro would have to be after the Easter break (or you race in snow).
OEMs will push back against Toronto

So two Anaheim races and two San Diego races? The San Diego downtown folks will be pumped if this goes through.

Great to send SX to Foxboro.

I think Houston is getting an unfair shake. Yeah attendance was low but the championship had already been decided and there was a MotoGP race going in in Austin the same weekend. I know of at least a few people who missed the SX race to take in a weekend of MotoGP. Had the championship been close it would've been packed.

NASCAR was racing in Dallas
MotoGP was racing in Austin
Houston SX had strong competition with these two giants racing the same weekend only a few hours away

I don't think schedule changes happen because a single event does poorly.

I understand but it was the same thing last year. RV was already ahead by about 40 points by the time Houston rolled around.

I just hope Met Life stays on the schedule or even better yet, have it at the Linc in Philly. Not that I'm being selfish or anything....WhistlingTongue

You may not be feeling Toronto, but most, like myself, who live within driving distance definitely want it back.

Totally agree, except for the Lorettas part. Amateur races should not even be considered or factored in when making the pro national schedule. But I am so tired of poser-cross that they could make ALL of them outdoors and I would be happy.

I've heard "rumors" of the Minneapolis round returning in 2018. No matter when it happens, it can't happen fast enough. The stadium is half done and they are ahead of schedule...this place is going to be sick!!

Houston attendance hasn't been spectacular but there were probably 40,000 people there this year. The attendance in Dallas is always better though. If it goes away that will be sad because the sport has some roots in Houston.

If Toronto isn't on the schedule we may just have to do that. A bunch of us used to make the trip to Pontiac back in the day..until we were blessed with a local round.

Virtually ALL of the Venue changes for this year were due to the regular Venues having Construction or Maint. issues.

BTW, Toronto rules.
