Robby mentioned yesterday at the grand opening of SCORE International Hamburgers in Chula Vista Dirt Live the reason for the cancellation of Texas, he said if I heard right the SST was invited by the Canadian Government to do a SST venue on that day. Amazing, now I wonder if this will take place of the international venue or will there be another one..anyone know

I have a suspicion that its going to be part of the Honda Indy weekend - just like Long Beach...
Looks like Chicago cancelled, too. Not a good sign.
To bad. We were going up. Mr.Gordon will get it going .
Well that's a bummer - Guess I will cancel my plans for next weekend. We were going to take the train down from Milwaukee and make a whole weekend out of it, but I guess that's not happening. It seems kind of late to cancel - and there really isn't an announcement. I'm hoping that it was just a situation with the stadium and not a reflection on the overall state of the SST Series.
Well I hope it is due to conflict in races schedules. would be nice if they would address it though. IMO I'm no expert on this so maybe I am wrong
perhaps an official statement is coming soon as to why.
just my guess,ticket sales must not have been brisk enough to cover the rent.Two weeks advance notice is better than Thursday the week of,just say'n.
There has been no mention of it because there hasn't been an 'official' release from SST. If it just got cancelled, why would there be a mention of it last week?
But I do understand any frustration.
They need to work on the communication end of things. I shouldn't have to snoop around to find out that the event is canceled. I wouldn't have known to start snooping around unless I checked Planet Robby. Even with that, the only sign that the event is canceled is the message through Ticketmaster. I also just noticed that the event page has been deleted from the Soldier Field website. It had been there as recently as a couple days ago when I was doing some research/planning for the weekend.
Once the event was canceled, a proper PR statement should be put on the SST website, Facebook and so forth. Blame it on ticket sales, the stadium, the weather, da Bears... but at least get word of the canceled event out there.
I hate to say it, but I'm now having hesitations about trying to plan for the Minneapolis/Metrodome event weekend. We were planning on taking a couple days to head up that way, but if that event's not going to happen - we'd much rather take our vacation days somewhere else.
