You're not here for an honest debate if you start your post with saying anybody that disagrees with you is a crybaby. With that said, it's just not practical. You need weekly racers to support a weekly program. Most of these teams are teams that don't have unlimited resources. Why would a car owner in this area ask for the wear and tear that racing on the big half mile will get him/her, for $1500 to win, when they could go compete on a track every week the size of LPS? The big stars and teams are on the road with USAC, MSCS, etc, so they won't be there most weeks. And the hardcore fans will mostly be where the big race that weekend is happening. What promoter's going to take the financial risk under those circumstances? This great track has been a "Special Event" track for over a half a century. And it always will be.
