Woodstock 50 also requested that Amplifi Live be made to return nearly $18 million in funds that organizers claimed the company misappropriated, but the judge ruled that that matter needed to be determined by arbitration. Woodstock 50 had been scheduled for August 16th to the 18th at Watkins Glen International Speedway.
