Even if you don't open the doors, you lost money. I'm not talking potential lost profits. That's obvious if you don't open. I'm talking money that has already been spent, whether the doors are opened or not. If you open, you have to cover those costs, and you have to cover the further costs of opening. A track doesn't break even by canceling so they never want to cancel. Some seem to not get that by their reaction at times. That's my point.
I definitely know where you're coming from and agree. It costs money to run a track any way you spin it. They spent money promoting the Kokomo GP, prepping the track, preparing concessions, etc. There are still bills to be paid as well.
I'm just saying that it may be easier for Kokomo to recoup some of that money down the road because of their reputation and the product they provide. May not be as easy for other tracks around Indiana IMO.
