Gates Open at IMS

The gates are open at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway this weekend. However, a local television station reported that finding Hoosier fans on the grounds for the second MotoGP was almost impossible. On the other hand, the reporter found people from around the nation and the world.

Are Hoosier fans only interested in racing on four wheels? Or has the traditional concentration at IMS, and therefore the local media, on open-wheel and stock car racing prevented Midwesterners from following motorcycle racing? That concentration is understood following the debacle of the original motorcycle racing at the Speedway—before bricks and paving was applied to the legendary racetrack.
