I give you credit for getting on here, even though I probably would not have. You guys were in a tough spot last night, and easily could have cancelled. Just remember a lot of people on this board post a lot, but hardly ever go to races. I think for some people the problem is it seems like something every year. I got to where about 10 years ago I tired of winged racing, and these Usac shows are the only time I get to Eldora. I have been going there since 1982. I hope this show continues to be on the schedule, as to me it has always been the unoffical start of spring. As for being a money loser, pull 3 good shows in a row and the crowd will come back. You can't blame people for being gun shy. Good luck.
