I ask because just in travelers alone you have plenty of people to open the gates no matter the weather. I have been out for short two day weekends in April or September with perfect weather and see sparse crowds, plus all of those travelers from long distance don't come either. That tells me local support isn't always strong throughout the year. The traveler support is excellent for Sprintweek so again I only started this thread to start the notion of a raindate. If your math for Midgetweek matches Sprintweek then I'm on board if not then I don't see the comparison. This two day layoff is a bad deal. I as a person who can't get to these tracks weekly would like to see as many shapes as possible while visiting. Btw when USAC comes to my area I go to every race regardless of the weather until they cancel, I do it every year. Hope you made the visit to PA and saw all six nites.
Your pretty much spot on
