WoO is part of a publically traded conglomerate and are likely about to go belly up. Last I checked, a share of WRGI stock is trading at 1.4 cents a share. And that was after a reverse split a few months ago. They are not healthy, although they put on a happy face.
From a old timer fan's perspective, the last thing I would do is pay $35 for a ticket to a WoO show when I could watch paint dry for free. I'll take USAC and Indiana racing any day over that. JMO.
Lot's of people here are good at pointing out the problems (griping), but few are any good providing serious substantial ideas for solving them, except maybe for Don Moore.:2: Right, Don?
P.S. NASCAR and IndyCar are about the only two racing groups that I know of that do not pay to be on TV.

I saw an ASCS show on TV the other day, can not remember if it was Versus or Speed. How did they get TV time?

Why not a Sprint, Midget double header. I would think that teams that have both cars would show up plus the Midgets only teams.
Seems like it would be one heck of a show. Probably all about dollars or people afraid to invest the dollars this year.
