You make it seem like they pay the Expo Center's rental fee and, POOF!, a race magically happens. 
Like I've said before, I believe they probably could pay a bit more, but these highfalutin millennials are going about it all wrong. They haven't even spoken to the man who matters!
You know what? I believe that the county there are the ones who are coming out smelling like roses. Why don't these guys partner with the Hahns and maybe show up to a county commissioners meeting and try to shake some of that money out of THEIR pockets? It would be all over the local news there if CBell and Larson showed up to a meeting, and they all could end up looking like heroes. Governments will give out a million dollars all day everyday if they're getting back $15 million. But no one is even trying. Go get the Tourism and Visitors bureau to up the purse- it would be stupid if they resisted.
It seems to me that the people who should be sticking together are instead cutting off their noses despite their faces.
Sorry to play the English teacher role, but I can't take it...
Its "to" spite their faces
