Here’s the thing though, if the WEC doesn’t draw a crowd, then assuming COTA is competently managed (not a given) at some point the track will start offering the series less money to show up. And that’s especially true if COTA doesn’t think that the WEC has any other viable options based upon its business model in the U.S./Canada.
