First they screw over Kevin Schwantz and now this?

Bunch of scumbags. Used public tax dollars to build it and then screw everyone except their rich cronies. I was going to motogp there this year, will regroup and go to Europe instead.

screw that..
I won't ever pay a dime to go to a place like that. neither will I ever go to Indy.
they're just setup to fill pockets of people who already have plenty. don't care much about F1 or GP either...

I'd rather save up to go see the TT.

We have a test there in the spring, the only reason to test is if we would race there. I would expect the AMA to have COTA on the 2013 schedule.

My thoughts is that they are a new fresh track with not much direction other than F1/GP. After the hype is over with they will bow down to the track day junkies.
