I was at both All Star races at Circle City. I have no idea how they didn't make any money. That place was totally packed both nights. If you notice the promoter isn't promoting the USAC races either. He's leased that out to T/E. The Kokomo race was the Rudeen race was promoted by Ronk and Stubegen who have now taken on THAT. The Rudeen race moves every year for awareness of the cause and I believe it went to I-70 for this year.
I do agree, that there is little to no appetite for winged racing in Indiana either from the promoters or fans. Its the wrong entrée in a non wing saturated fan base and I believe the perceived price point is too high as well. Again, the only winged race will be the Memorial Day standing date at Lawrenceburg for the WoO, which has been well attended in the past. I think there is a spot in the calendar in late September to run another "Hoosier Fall Classic", but I think the risk is too great for the promoters.
