Anyways.... back on topic:
Assuming this info is TRUE, which I am not countering, it makes the whole scenario odd. By not holding the event, I would immediately assume it was the promoter's decision. The promoter/track pays the USAC sanction fees, hopes a lot of cars show up, drums up the purse to pay all, and hope to get it all back with ticket sales, concessions, etc. If the promoter took a bath last time out, I could see why the brakes were put on for 2018.
But if USAC pulled the plug...... why? Start the head scratching. They are getting their money. They are out nothing. Maybe they raised the sanctioning fees beyond what the promoter felt fair and manageable?
Too bad either way for fans of this event.
