Re: [ST] Move MotoGP East!

Miller would be a great place to have the race.
I am sure the teams would really like those F1 style garages.
But I wonder what the VIPs would think of Salt Lake City as a party town?

For the best racing, I think Road America is the pick.
Most tracks only have a few places to pass. At least Road America is a very fast track. The MotoGP bikes would really fly there.
