Not really. They aligned themselves with DirtVision. No way they wanted a High Limit race. They wouldn't want to lose their Outlaw dates.

I’m looking forward to the opener if the weather is good enough to ride up

How did they not get screwed?
If it was business as usual, and the high limit thing never happened, they would have their 2 WoO races and 5-6 ASCOC races as always.
Now they’ve got 2 WoO races and a few FAST series races.
Yeah, they had to pick sides, WoO or High a limit. No choice there, it had to happen with how things have gone, and WoO was the obvious choice.
But they would’ve been much better off had this HL thing never started. So they did get screwed, and their race calendar is much weaker than usual because of it

I still don't think they got screwed, because they could have done things differently. Were they offered High Limit dates? Did they turn them down? Could they not reach an agreement on what dates? I don't know. Yes, like every other track, they had tough decisions. They did what they thought was best for them. My feelings are the All Stars were probably going to be gone anyway. Not enough teams following the series. If High Limit was screwing them, they would not allow their teams to run Attica shows, or something like that. That is one of the things that make operating a track difficult. Not an easy business. If all goes well, I plan on attending my first Brad Doty Classic this year. Hope they have success all year.

I don’t think Attica got screwed, but I think they are definitely a victim of circumstances. Attica is the track most significantly affected by the end of the All Stars. What they lose is primarily the name identity of the All Stars as a recognizable regional tour and the fans who come to those events rather than weekly shows. The FAST series really isn’t able to fill the void left in the region by the All Stars. Don’t take that as a criticism of FAST. Their schedule is pretty consistent with what it has been with the addition of Ohio Sprint Speedweek. FAST could take a wait and see approach this year and assess whether a growth in their schedule and payout is worth doing in the future. Speedweek is a way to dip their toe in that water. If they decide to continue with business as usual, there is a void that could be filled by a new series. All that being said, Attica will be just fine with the shows they have on their schedule. Car and fan count may not change too much, and they still have the biggest event on their schedule with the Outlaws. It would be a pretty big gamble to sacrifice that event just to go with High Limit and get a couple of shows that probably won’t be any more profitable.

Several tracks have both. Seems the tracks that signed with Dirt Vision are getting the HL Boycott but Flo Tracks are not doing so to WoO just won't be able to stream those shows.

I could be wrong, Just my opinion.

Thank you. You worded that better than I did.
