Or maybe because the only track in the US that fits the FIA standards for an F1 track is Indy. To get a road course here, it has to be purpose built. No tracks are up to safety regs. there are regulations about length of run off, etc. and Long Beach doesn't not comply. Monaco only exists because of it's history.
