Welcome to the RACER Mailbag where questions for any of RACER’s writers can be sent to mailbag@racer.com. We appreciate your comments and opinions, especially if they include a question, as those are more likely to be published. Questions received after 3pm ET each Monday will appear the following week. Pikes Peak International Raceway was dropped from IndyCar/IRL and other major racing series schedules due to low attendance, with its last pro event held in 2013-2014. While a resurgence for PPIR similar to tracks like Iowa, Milwaukee, and Nashville is not impossible, it would require efforts to court series like IndyCar for a return. At Laguna Seca, commemorating four four-time Indy winners at various turns is a great idea, with tracks already having iconic named turns like the Andretti Hairpin and Rahal Straight. In the world of motorsports, figures like Zak Brown of McLaren often draw comparisons to WWE characters and the drama they bring to the sport. Finally, while turning the Road America event into an endurance race like the Sahlen’s Six Hour at Watkins Glen could be intriguing, budget constraints could be a limiting factor.
