I mean Stadium Super Trucks on the Long Beach street course is better than any motorcross race in history so thanks, I guess.

Isn't lime rock also the track that the neighborhood around it really loving hates too? Like constantly trying to use legal action to shut it down?

E: yep that's the one.

To be fair that's like three tracks.

Also always, always wish nothing but bad things for anything Colin Kolles puts his name to or runs. The man is the Hitler of motorsport and is pure scum.

"CotA is a bad track" is the most hilariously bullshit and try-hard meme these threads have ever produced. It literally just apparated out of nothing like the least interesting ghost. MAYBE I'll buy that Viking hated it from the start, as he is a professional contrarian, but the initial reception was almost universally positive and it has only ever produced decent-to-good racing.

I hated COTA when it was first announced because:
A) Tilke track
B) "Circuit of the Americas"
C) FIA and Formula 1's horseshit "finally america has a quality track" statements
D) gently caress Texas
