After seeing some people complaining on facebook about the track variety for the OMA season I started to wonder why do tracks leave a race series in the first place?
I saw some comments saying that track variety is down due to tracks closing. So after doing some research I went back and looked at the OMA schedules from as far back as I could find with a google search and it looks like four tracks have left the OMA after being part of it at some point in the past. Chillitown (I saw the drama about chillitown leaving last year so lets not start that again), MX 213, OIR, and Route 62.
After checking the facebook pages of these four tracks it looks like they are still in operation, so why would a track owner not want to participate in a race series? Seems to me like being a part of a series would be guaranteed money because you have scheduled races that people will show up for?
On top of the tracks leaving there are some other tracks that are not part of any series that I am aware of, such as Outlaw MX, MX Express, Smith Rd, and COCR. What would be a reason that these tracks would not want to get in on a race series.
There is a new track in Southern Ohio called Windy Ridge that was just built this past summer and they are already hosting both Buckeye series races and a Kentuckiana series race for the 2019 season.
I am not a track owner and I don't know a lot about owning a track, I just genuinely want to know reasons why these tracks leave and why other tracks don't want to be part of a series?
