Probably a good move by all parties. After they lost one night last year and all of the $$$$ plus the thought of more $$$ lost this week it seems like the best solution. If Bubba looses too much money every year he might not be willing to support USAC again next year and USAC won't go to FL for only one race.

I know it is a pain for some from Indiana, but it's mostly the locals that will be putting their butts in the seats and footing the bill down there. The locals need to show up to pay for the show and they may not be as hardy as the Indiana folks are. Remember it is FLORIDA for gods sake, it's not like they live there because the like the cold weather!!

Besides, I bet if you asked the teams and drivers they prefer to have a solid night of practice night to start off the year. And the teams don't care how cold it is, THEY ARE RACERS…
