For the company now, it wouldn't be the smartest move to build a new track. Down the road though, I could see it. Gerry Forsythe (one of the OWRS principals) was looking into putting together a track in Cancun last year, but nothing ever happend with it. I think the best thing for OWRS to do now, is build on what they already have. Long Beach and Mexico City are both excellent races and draw great crowds.

Very true. I'm curious though, if they ever did decide to create a track specifically for the series, and maybe make it series "big event", what kind of circuit would you see being a "super Bowl"?
