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.
