Ice Motorcycle Racing stands in the way of WEC 43 occuring in Ohio

When the WEC postponed their Youngstown event it left many questions for Ohio MMA fans. First among these was "will WEC 43 still take place in Ohio?"
Unfortunately it seems that the answer to that question is a definitive no.
Yesterday WEC VP Peter Dropic told MMA Fanhouse's Michael David Smith that the Covelli Centre was unavailable on the rescheduled day. WKR checked the Covelli Centre's official website and the new date, of October 10th was free.
Yet Vindy.com, Youngstown's official newspaper, talked to Covelli Centre's executive director Eric Ryan. Ryan told the Vindy that the 10th was indeed taken,
Further complicating the issue is that the Covelli Centre is already booked for Oct. 10. According to Ryan, there is a motorcycle ice racing event scheduled for that date.
"We're under contract [for the ice racing]," confirmed Ryan, who added he will begin work today in an attempt to move that show to accommodate the WEC.
Seriously!?
Ice Motorcycle racing?
Still seems odd that they wouldn't have the event listed online or on their official phone line, which WKR also called.
