Yes, Miller is a better race track, but it's pretty flat as well.
Barber is just too small, MotoGP bikes wouldn't get past 3rd gear.
The IMS is completely self financed, so they don't need any help from
the local government, and is willing to spend the money in order to
make the event happen. No place else on earth that I know of has the
ability to put so many paying spectators around a racetrack.
From a business point of view, it's THE track to race at in North America.
