And that it might, sir (or madame). You remind me that I should have added that, in deals like these, often something is lost when something else is gained. Sad to say, for now, Vermilion County has lost, but we shall see as you say. You have to remember that I'm looking at this from a purely Hoosier perspective. LPS has been a part of the Saturday night/open wheel/Hoosier scene for too long to let it go away. My buddy Dave and I had planned on going to VCS earlier this year and it didn't work out. From what little I know, it appears that Mr. Spiker acted right away to make a move that he's been wanting to make for some time. Perhaps having both tracks spread the man too thin. Perhaps another will step forward.
No matter what the circumstances, a race track that is closed should not be celebrated. For our cousins in Illinois, let's hope that VCS stays open for a long time to come.
