Either that or SDR is low on cash since they lost Visit Florida as their primary sponsor that they can't spring for a new tub from Dallara. You have to remember that AXR got a new tub before COTA last year after they damaged a car beyond immediate repair at Long Beach.
IMO, probably also a wise move to skip at least Long Beach. We know of that track's reputation for accidents and collisions, especially with a large field.

Agreed, between being a short street race and being on the west coast. They took discretion. Probably a good idea.
