I would think for one thing it is short notice. Might be tough to get all the employees needed to work. Also shifting to a holiday, the police and emt people would probably come at a higher cost. You and I would be there, but they would also lose a portion of the gate from people who already had plans. A lot of tracks have cancelled this weekend, how many have rescheduled for Easter. Must be a reason.

On Easter, racing is not what I'm going to be thinking about.

Think about it this way...these are my numbers and not specific...but let's say I usually clear $10k on my event on a perfect day. My advertising budget for that event for print, radio, fb, the proper channels was 3k. Then I had to reschedule, so the same event makes 10k...but I spent an ADDITIONAL 3k on advertising to get the word out on the new date...add in the additional 3k on the third rain date and now you start to see why a rain date is less tasty to a promoter, let alone a second rain date on short notice. If you can have an advertised rain date with notice like the Outlaw shows have...the same money creates the same awareness.

8:30 AM Saturday we can also briefly say that the race is 'snowed out'. Yep, the 'burg has snow.

It's a religious biblical holiday compared to national non-religious holidays.

Racing going head to head with a major religious holiday seems like a losing proposition. Even nascar doesn’t try to go head to head with religion.

May 4th, yes WoO is at Haubstadt, but Florence Speedway about 20 minutes down the road has a Lucas Oil Late Model race. The WoO date would divide some of their Sprint Car fan base, and possibly a competitor or 2; and Florence running a big race slightly divides fans in the that area. While there isn't a huge Late Model-Sprint Car cross over fan base, they do exist. The kitty is just divided up too much May 4.
