The justification is the site organizers specifically asking for 3 races. It's all about revenue. When you add another race you are adding up to 2 more hours to the venue. This is allowing the vendors to make more money. If the vendors don't make money, they don't come back, hence races don't come back. It really is all about the $$$.

I know this might be a little cliche, but racing really is like a circus. You need you ringmaster, your center stage acts and the clowns. Also, let's not forget the beer guy and the people selling hot dogs, peanuts & popcorn. If we cannot not figure out a way to make ALL parties happy, why even bother then. So yes racing it the MAIN attraction, but if the people working the event cannot make money there won't be a race event period.

But then again, aren't you the one that is suggesting to add more classes to OPA? When would you be expecting this SOB class to run?
