If you are looking to make money...you are in the wrong class...and more importantly....the wrong sport! Be grateful for tracks that are willing to take the chance...because at this point as a promoter...it is a HUGE chance!

I do wonder why most didn't make the trip, but until someone asks the drivers and teams directly (or they comment here) we'll never know.
Hopefully Route 45 will get most everyone around for their September 5th event as well.
(And the later 2-day October show for that matter)
Just a thought, It could be the sheer inexperience and thus hesitancy to travel elsewhere and learn a new track while still trying to get a handle on their "home" track. As well as the obvious risks in equipment this early in the season while running for a track-championship. Don't know, but seems a logical possibility.
Given how Bloomington's season finishes up Aug 21, a week before the Lawerenceburg event, and getting more seat time as well it's quite possible more will be willing to venture out to one or both speedways for these two events and any others planned/added as the seasons start to conclude.
