I picked Michigan and California as the Super Speedways and play to the interests of the general racing fan. Remember, you want CART to be big, you are going to have to have a lot of bandwagon fans. If you want it to be niche, they will be on the verge of bankruptcy every year.

I agree that California and Michigan would be good place to hold a race like that but CART is basically shut-out of both of those venues because their owned by the ISC, who is in bed with the IRL. Also, if it was my series, no super-speedways because they're way too dangerous to run in an open-wheel car.
