That's the thing with a race like Daytona/Indy..... it's a thing of tradition. CART tried to create a big race in 1996, which was the first year of "the split". Although the race at Michigan was decent, it was marred by a pre-race accident that forced seven or eight drivers into their backup cars.
For the company now, it wouldn't be the smartest move to build a new track. Down the road though, I could see it. Gerry Forsythe (one of the OWRS principals) was looking into putting together a track in Cancun last year, but nothing ever happend with it. I think the best thing for OWRS to do now, is build on what they already have. Long Beach and Mexico City are both excellent races and draw great crowds.
