Every 2010 WSBK schedule I've seen has the USA round listed as May 31st. This would be a Monday. Does anybody know if this is indeed true? I've emailed Cycle News and Miller Motorsprorts Park for a confirmation, but have heard nothing in return.

Memorial day mebbe?  Still would be weird for the non-USA audience to run it on Monday.  Then again, US rounds are run when they're all asleep anyway, so it may not really matter.

Exactly what I was thinking. Probably a good idea to run it on Monday so they didn't have to compete with the Indy 500 or NASCAR. But I'd like to know for sure before I made hotel reservations.
