Thinking of what A1GP needs for their paddock, which tracks would be a good fit (just talking facilities). Factor out Indianapolis as it's obvious that track does due to the upgrades for F1.

Miller Motorsports Park was very popular with World Super Bike, but I would prefer Laguna Seca. They have been there once (the weather ruined the event), but we need open wheel cars in the corkscrew bad.

Road America!!! It's the most European track in the US (often called the Spa of the US) and it has great history and also open dates

I am going with Westside. I vote for Road America. I wanted LB, but is less than 2 miles in length.

Virtually no rod racing track in the US has the facilities for A1GP because they arrive with all their equipment in air freight containers and the cars on pallets. The tracks they run on therefor have to have Indy or Montreal style garages. Watkins Glen might work in a pinch but Upstate NY is not suitable for a winter racing series!!

Miller and Road America both instantly come to mind, but how about the new track in New Jersey, it might be tough in the winter but it shouldn't be that bad

HELLLLLLLLLLLL YEAH!

Any of the teams can use my garage if they come to Long Beach. :-)

What does the type of garage have to do with the cars arriving on pallets? Is it because they need two stalls?

Didn't Laguna Seca already host a race?

Yup, I was there (in the snow, btw). They didn't seem to have any problem accommodating the equipment and teams.
