On the other hand, the place is really nice and any racing is good racing to me so I hope it all goes down as planned. Just odd.
Could be that an operating track has a higher value and give them a better chance at getting their asking price. A track with no plans to run, racers find other place to run or sell their stuff, fans make plans to go elsewhere, sponsors leave. Badlands seems to be looking for a buyer to pay top dollar for a fully operating business.
With that said maybe this year was a mistake in the plan when they hastily called off the whole season then later added in some big events. I wish they would of put the gold cup back on this year. I was really looking forward to the new format with USAC sprints and midgets.
