Motorcycle racing pwns even F1 for being a thrill to watch, which is why I am sometimes surprised at the relative success of NASCAR over Moto GP. Well,
Moto GP is coming to the
taxpayer raping planned Circuit of the Americas* Formula 1 track
in near Austin, Texas. It is hoped that this will do big things for the popularity of motorcycle racing; instead of watching crash cages make left turns all day, I'll be able to see some guys in leather suits go flying into the gravel. Uh, I mean, racing. It's all about the sport, not the crashes. Right. Racing, not crashes. Right.
This stadium is stupid. I protest that we are being made to pay for it. But (as Onassis said) "If you're gonna to be raped you might as well enjoy it," and Moto GP will make this track more enjoyable. Especially if they have public track days . . . .

*Let's hope this name is rather less pretentious in practice than it sounds.
