As I posted on another thread. I went to a Friday WoO - Sat USAC show at Eldora when Earl owned the place and when the WoO left to go to Lernerville the fans went with them. The crowd was about half on Saturday. The WoO draws, it's that simple.

As far how this will play out with the WoO teams, I don't know. They haven't played nice with anyone in the past and have been pretty aggressive with their tracks and teams. I don't think they will lose many teams. I believe when Sides had his lawsuit with them he commented he lost $50000 in tow money for the year when they pulled his platinum status for running a 360 race. That kind of money keeps teams going and I doubt very many will want to just walk away from it. Remember when Mansfield had the $100000 to win race and the WoO teams couldn't run? This could get real interesting very soon.
