Actually, I do not disagree with some of your analysis. However, this is a bit like the old chicken or egg metaphor. Perhaps, some motivational promotion, as in the Baltes era); i.e. some major events, etc. USAC certainly is not blameless, but the scheduling philosophy of the track seems pretty clear. Apparently the O'Connors, Rudisells and other ISW promoters seem to recognize this, but in today's world stops at Western Ohio border.
