But if you are going to do the mile race it should be a one turn longer sprint and not what they are going to do this year.

Yeah, well that goes with the idea I favor of going to 12 races and running 6 each at two different tracks with staggered starts like the Sunshine Millions. With 20 minutes between races there is actually a chance of viewers staying to watch the next race. I don't know how many times I've had friends somewhat interested in racing on TV, watch the race and kind of get into it, and then find out it is 35 minutes until the next race and lose all interest. Plus with two track you can be assured of always being able to run every race at the proper distance. I know a lot of people hate the idea of two tracks but it would solve the problem of the dirt mile being completely different every year.
