Should be a good track, with multiple places to pass.

Amazing!
Seems like an amazing circuit for SBK/MotoGP, a pretty decent one for F1, but for most other series it seems a bit oversized. I'll probably make it out for the Aussie V8 visit next year if it's a financial success enough to last that long, but I'm still unsure if it's worth the cost to come out for the F1 race the end of this year.

What upsets me the most is that before the US Grand Prix left Indy the tickets were "cheap"
I was at the race in '05 [To watch 6 cars drive around] in '06 and '07. In '05 we sat in the grandstand right at the start/finish line and in 06/07 we say right at turn one. Tickets were $120 for a three day pass! Fri/Sat and Sunday Race with an additional $20 to park all three days. Thursday the track was open for free to anyone with a Race ticket. Now I am looking to go to Spa in '13 and the tickets for my Fiance [will be wife then] are $1300... WTF!
I miss Indy... the track was boring, sure, but it was only a drive away and it was CHEAP!
With a Grand Prix coming to West New York in '13 as well as much as I want to go to Austin, I don't think it makes sense with a race 35min from my house.
Pic from Indy 2007 that I took at the turn 7-8-9 complex on the earth berm where people without press passes could take pics w/o a fence in the way:
Kimi... who would be World Champion that year...

Very nice photo! And, Kimi is back, placing second by only 3.3 seconds in the Lotus at Bahrain last Sunday.
In the 70's, I attended all of the US and Canadian GP's when they were held at Watkins Glen (the Bog lives!) and Mosport, respectively, and have been a life long fan. Back in those days, it was really inexpensive.
You have me interested when you spoke of a GP in west NY in 2013. The Glen? New track? Details please.
