Auto Club Speedway at Fontana, CA will no longer have Metrolink supply service to their NASCAR races
Oh how tricky. Sell me a ticket letting me assume or actually promote the Metrolink option and then cancel Metrolink. Any bets that did not happen?
Does this seem analogous to Chicagolanders of Metra’s non-service to Arlington Park? That took effect a year or two ago IIRC, but I’m not saying I do recall correctly time-wise.
I don’t worry about there being a flawed or evasive explanation of that suspension so much as it was a offered as simple fact, a non-explanation accepted as pat by the media and apparently the populace too. I’m not trying to hijack this topic and am not going to infer motive or conspiracy; I just don’t know. Maybe somone here will. (And if it bears discussion, we should probably open up a new thread.)

Apparently, the promoters couldn’t get enough people to buy a package which included the chartered train to and from the race track. Metrolink was not operating this service on its own initiative, they just provided the train for the promoters.

Maybe promoters ran up against a confirmation deadline with Metrolink and did not have enough package ticket purchases. Around here most events lately are getting sold just days or even hours before an event.
