This country is "big enough" to host "two" Moto GP's. after all some of the "other" countries in europe host two.

It is NOT going to happen. 
Road Atlanta and Daytona are way too dangerous.
The FIM, Dorna, and VIPs very much prefer Monterey to Birmingham, and wherever 
all the other tracks are located.
Laguna has at least 3 years left on there contract.

The FIM did not have any gripes, well may be they were a little unhappy that the 
heat caused some spots on the new asphalt to break up. But they know that Laguna 
will fix that.
The FIM cares ZERO for US fans. Note the schedule change that left the track 
empty for 4 hours Sunday.

The price of everything at Laguna Seca is very high, always has been.
Last weekend was record heat. From personal experience of the last 25 races, I 
know it has never been nearly that hot for three days. The cool ocean breeze 
just never came. On the other hand the temperature after 7:30pm was the best it 
has ever been.
