I would hate to see Martin go NHRA. It's my favorite place on the IHRA tour. It's a great place!! Not enough room there for an NHRA national anyways. As far as Grand Bend....I don't know about that. The place needs a lot of upgrades, starting with the timing system.

You know, regarding the spectators, I disagree with some of your observations.

Up until a couple of years ago I was one of those spectators. I would stay in Chi-town with my hunting partner and attend all days of both national events. I waited in lines for an hour or more just to get in and if I was not sitting on the road before they opened I would have to park about the 1000ft mark on the spectator side. Walking around to the the pits were always jammed with people and forget the midway. One night they ran late to near midnight and I was 2 hours just trying to get back up to I-80, got into Chi-town after 3:00AM.

The last couple of years I have been helping a friend with his comp car and have used the racer side. If things have changed, I hate to see it. I personally think that it is one of the best facilities I have ever been to and was quite proud of it until this has happened.

I hope things can get better or get back on keel.

I heard that IHRA was going to cut one of their National events in Michigan and Milan Dragway is one of the possibilities. I'm not sure how big of a crowd Martin gets for their national event but I went to Milan and it wasn't full. Possibility Milan will go NHRA????
