Personal Opinion and so on -
I kind of wish that the Badlands date for the Gold Cup wasn't so close to Knoxville, I guess the hope is to bring some guys two weeks early instead of 1, but I think that if we look at everything, most of these guys have points funds and other obligations close to home. Two weeks is a lot (actually probably closer to 3 with travel), and as a fan, I don't think I can justify the prices for the Gold Cup/360 Nats/Cappy Classic/Front Row/410 Nats so close together. 360 Nats/Cappy/410 Nats are a must every year for me.
I get the concept behind the date, but I just think spreading the 3 events out and having Knoxville go blank on the Silver Shootout day instead may have been a better option for everyone involved. Maybe a date closer to the middle September when the Outlaws roll back through from the West Coast would allow everyone to enjoy this event and help it grow.
Just and idea...
