cmh_sprint Posted August 16, 2011 Report Share Posted August 16, 2011 (edited) I just took a survey sent to me by IMS. If I analyzed it correctly, they appear to be heading toward bringing WSBK to Indy to fill the anticipated loss of the MotoGP race next year. They threw questions in about AMA but I have a hard time believing AMA would get any sort of turnout at all due to the fact they are a homegrown series and couldn't hold a candle to the organization of Dorna and WSBK. This is what I was anticipating once they announced the MotoGP / Austin, Tx contract. I believe they have may already have an initial agreement with WSBK and are doing research to make sure they would pull a good crowd.

Casper Posted August 16, 2011 Report Share Posted August 16, 2011 No kidding? I'd go watch WSBK in Indy.I didn't know MotoGP was leaving Indy. Last I heard, they were in negotiations to sign an extended contract. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CleaveTheGreat Posted August 16, 2011 Report Share Posted August 16, 2011 I'd definitely rather see WSBK than AMA. Maybe I'll stop talking about it and actually go next year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last I heard, they were in negotiations to sign an extended contract.That is my speculation. I can't see MotoGP with 3 US races. I don't know if there is enough interest as well as the financials that would be involved for DORNA and the teams. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
