Imo I think it's pretty stupid to have a race and concert together in such a tight time frame.

All the teams that showed up for this lost money and I guess nobody seems to care as it seems they think we all got money trees growing in our back yards!

The one thing this showed me was the races are just playing second fiddle to the concerts they had as that is where they're going to make their money and they don't seem to care how much money it costs someone else for their greedy ideas.

I think your remarks accurately capture the diminishing respect shown to USAC by the IL State Fair. Unfortunately, I believe this coincides with declining ticket sales. That said, why do they dick around all day with a lot of down time before starting the race at 2 pm? They could easily start the race at 12 and not be under such time pressure.
