Vegas & Pass races
 
Here is my situation. I have a ticket to fly into Orange county Ca. for the Vegas and Perris races. The two guys that were to go with me are not going since they cancelled the one Perris race. My ticket is not refundable. I am flying into Orange County on the 24th
Looking to share a rental car or hitch a ride to Vegas.

Perris did not have a race cancelled. They were going to run the doubleheader as a two-day show, and instead decided to run it all in one day. This enables those so inclined to attend the Las Vegas World of Outlaws race on Friday night. Pretty good display of working together so fans and competitors do not have to make a decision between races that is unnecessary.

Our trip was planned on watching three days of usac not a wang race
I live 10 miles from Eldora and don't go to the Wang shows.
When usac had it on there site as friday and sat for both midgets and sprints and then go to one day show that is called Cancelled

But you would have seen the exact same amount of racing...? They took your two days and piled them into one day. You weren't going to get to see two entire programs...

I still want to go but by going by myself it's going to get expensive
I can head to florida and loose out the 240.00 on the ticket and still be ahead

Actually I was at Perris in Novemeber when they announced the race and it was said no the PA system that it would be 2 days or racing full shows. I have never and I say never seen or heard of it being a 2 day 1 show race till it was cancelled. I have talked to at least 3 others that heard the same thing...

Just telling it like it is.....

The adjustment of the origanal 2day schedule,to a one day show,also screws with peoples reservations,depending on how they're travelin'.....air,car,hotel ect.!!....some are not refundable!!....others charge for changes!!.....thats like steal'n from da point fund!!...eh!!..or in my case...da travel'n fund!!!.....

Is it thanks USAC/CRA, or thanks Perris Auto Speedway???

As noted by Scott Daloisio on the SCRA board,originally they were having 2 complete nights of USAC midgets/sprints. Thats what they kept announcing at the Oval Nationals,and thats when I decided that might be worth going out for. Later on we saw Las Vegas was on on Thursday night,and that made the trip looking even better!

Then after booking airfare,they cancel one of the nights at Perris. Now the trip doesnt appeal to myself,and Dick Monahan, who decided on this trip with Eldora Mark. The whole appeal of the trip was to see USAC midgets/sprints at PERRIS for TWO nights of racing.

I cant imagine telling possibly the biggest crowd of the year of your next years opening weekend plans,then pulling the rug out on one night a month before the opener. Sure didnt help the traveling fans such as myself that have already paid for airfare,and now have to pull out of going there.

Obviously, USAC and the racers wouldn't turn down a chance to race another full night while they're out on the West Coast. Unfortunately, paying a second purse based on a Friday night PAS crowd is just a foolish idea...
