Once again, if the (insert race here) made money, the promoters would book more shows. The fact that there is a long list of failed attempts at indoor racing shows you the economics of the deal.

I am not familiar at all with this arena or how big the track will be, but I did live through too painful days at Kemper. While the excitement was very high for the Friday night event, it soon became evident that the track was too small and tight to put on a great event. Saturday was some better because they reworked the corners a little, but it was not a great night of racing.

The concerns about the logistics are very real. I do not see how a safe racing surface/track can be created in less than 24 hours.

Finally, I don't have 10 good things about Kemper, but it would be pretty easy to create 10 lessons learned from Kemper. I just don't know if anyone wants to hear them.
