I agree 100%. Once again, USAC is blamed for all of the problems in the world. USAC business model works when they host successful race nights. If the
(insert your favorite class)
would race at
(insert your favorite Track)
was a money maker it would happen.
The issue is that most all of these races that everyone has dreamed up is not a money maker, or the risk/reward factor is so large that no promoter wants to take them on.
It takes several factors to make a successful race night. Does the track have a big enough front gate to support a national show? Is the facility safe/modern enough to support a national show? Is there a population base/draw to support a national show? Is there enough race cars (in the area or that will tow to the area) for a national show? Is there an open race date that will work on both USAC and the tracks schedule? Will the promoter actively promote the show? (i.e. not be a ticket taker) Does the promoter have the financial capability to bankroll the show? If a promoter thinks that they can answer yes to all of these questions, have them call USAC. They are always looking for successful race nights.
