As others have mentioned this was the last for Reno. As to why Reno organizers would need to answer that but in talking to some of the long time attendees around me, I was given three possible reasons. First was they couldn't agree to a new contract with the airport. Second was they couldn't find reasonably-priced insurance and after this years crash I think would be almost impossible now. And the last was with all the new development around the airport Reno was having safety concerns and wanted to end the races. Could be one or a combination of all of the above or something totally different
