I've given up trying figure out what these clowns are thinking, no Sears Point, Mid-Ohio, or Lime Rock. But they're going to VIR (which is a glorified club circuit), IMS, to be Friday support race for the floundering NASCAR event, and where no one gives a rats's ass about the sportscar race.
I hope this whole thing goes tits up, and something totally new rises from the ashes.

Yes, quite a mish-mash of events and classes. The term 'dogs breakfast' springs to mind.

There are still a few gems like Rolex 24, Sebring and PLM in the mix though, as well as the shared weekend with WEC at the COTA in Sept.

Agreed, the classes are lashed together at best.  There are only nine events with all classes on hand.  Looks like they're content to be crummy support races for Indycars at Long Beach, and Belle Isle, as well as the previously mentioned Friday support outing for the floundering Brickyard.  The Long Beach race is a laughable, the old GP circuit was bad enough, but the current Indycar layout is a joke, half the race is run behind the safety car.
I've had it out with some USCC folks on another forum over the decision to race at IMS instead of Mid-Ohio.  They're truly delusional, and obviously in NASCAR's pockets.  One guy keeps giving me the argument that Mid-Ohio's facilities need upgrading, that's the reason they're not going.  That's the most bogus excuse I've ever heard, Mid-Ohio's facilities are every bit as good as Road America's, Road Atlanta's, and certainly nicer than VIR's.  They're just convinced they've got be at IMS with the stock cars, even though absolutely no one there gives a sh*t about that race (or the NASCAR Cup race for that matter).  They should race where people want them, and will turnout for the meeting. Not where some NASCAR jackass tells them they should be.
This is a add-on, I saw where COTA announced a two day attendance figure for the WEC round of 26,000.
That's pretty much identical to the crowd they got for the Grand-Am race.  Once again, these guys should be racing where people actually give a damn about the event.  I can guarantee they would have a bigger WEC crowd at someplace like Road America, Mid-Ohio, or Laguna Seca.
