I can lend a little insight to the people who were wondering about Quaker City. Last year they had a huge crowd on Sat. night. The pro-am had a little over 200 cars on Sat and about 180 on Sun.
The number of spectators on Sat. seems to be the issue. Unlike most tracks the "night of thrills" or "night under fire" whatever it was called this year,took place along with the pro-am. Quaker was given a percentage of the gate for all the spectators. There was a large dissagreemnent on the amount of paid admissions. Rumor was they were told 4800 paid. Management believed the number to be much higher. This is where the hard feelings come in. Possibly where the QCR boycott of the brackets finals comes in also. There were still some "feelings" from yrs ago when the Div. race at Dragway 42 was to be moved to QCR but instead got moved to Milan. As you can see the two parties just can not get along.
