OK, I've been trying to read some sense into this change of date deal. Does anybody really think it will free up rooms for racers, or spectators? The hotel managers will promise you anything, then pull the rug out from under you! Cheaper rates,more rooms, yeah,sure! The first year maybe, then look out! The reason rooms are scarce is because the managers make them scarce! Then control the rates!
Maybe I'm just paranoid but I'm reading between the lines here,by doing this, we will discourage the spectators/hot rodders, from attending leaving more rooms and services for the "real" racers. Sorry but I got news for y'all If the event started at midnight on wendsday you'd still get the same crowd! People live for this event and ain't nothing gonna change that!
