Biggest issue i see about these shows is if the locals with the MTS will support it. If not, car count could be really thin.

Unless you've been down on the track at Hartford, you have no idea how banked it is... it's quite deceiving (from the stands it looks about flat). I did some quick math one evening at the track and figured the banking to be at 18*.
Since I've been to both places as well, I'm going to respectfully disagree with your assessment except that NOW Hartford may very well be narrower than Terre Haute since they took away about 10 feet at the bottom of the track with an inside burm to keep cars off the bottom.
On the outside wall, Hartford is 5/8ths. On the inside guardrail, 9/16ths.
