Is it thanks USAC/CRA, or thanks Perris Auto Speedway???

As noted by Scott Daloisio on the SCRA board,originally they were having 2 complete nights of USAC midgets/sprints. Thats what they kept announcing at the Oval Nationals,and thats when I decided that might be worth going out for. Later on we saw Las Vegas was on on Thursday night,and that made the trip looking even better!

Then after booking airfare,they cancel one of the nights at Perris. Now the trip doesnt appeal to myself,and Dick Monahan, who decided on this trip with Eldora Mark. The whole appeal of the trip was to see USAC midgets/sprints at PERRIS for TWO nights of racing.

I cant imagine telling possibly the biggest crowd of the year of your next years opening weekend plans,then pulling the rug out on one night a month before the opener. Sure didnt help the traveling fans such as myself that have already paid for airfare,and now have to pull out of going there.

Obviously, USAC and the racers wouldn't turn down a chance to race another full night while they're out on the West Coast. Unfortunately, paying a second purse based on a Friday night PAS crowd is just a foolish idea...
