LPS did the summer nats and it didnt seem like the fans supported that with a pretty high purse. Sorry for getting off topic but there were some other questions about other series lol =P

You're against just about anything other than non-wing sprints and midgets. The alms races at gas city were outstanding for 4 or 5 years, and they had a northern all stars race won by Doug McCammon that was great too. Then the weather seemed to lead to several rainouts of scheduled late model shows, and the class was more like a red-headed step child that received very little promotion. They had some excellent 360 shows, an all star race in 04 that was really good, and several other GLOSS and MASS series winged sprint shows. I went to all of them, and never once left disappointed. Almost all were very well attended, so to generalize it and say they won't work is wrong. The LPS (and Kokomo for that matter) summer nationals races were on week nights, so of course they wouldn't draw the same crowd as a weekend show. Give these kinds of shows a fair chance, do some promotion, and they will become a nice alternative to add to a schedule when sprints have a big show somewhere else.
