I'm surprised by this as well due to the fact that Tri-City never actually had a chance to put on the event, therefore, doesn't have to reason to say it's a risk or not worth having. They just haven't had the luck with the rain in May.
Since there is no Night Before the 500 USAC Midget race it would be great to have the Hut 100 at the Indiana State Fairgrounds and double bill with the Hoosier Hundred once again like they did in 1987 or so. I don't know how feesable that is.
