I think as of now there is just one less race on the schedule.

I really wish i had run the national there this year. But standing up for one of my best friends in his wedding was more important, i guess.

How would you guys feel if they added a 3rd Charlotte national event in its place

Horrible. There's a lot more places that could use a 2nd event LONG before any track should ever get a 3rd.

I heard virginia may get there race back

I think it's funny they dumped VMP and then Memphis closes.
It may be a good thing. NHRA should also look at dumping a few more maybe cutting back to 16-20 races.
I liked Memphis the time I went hate to see any track close in these trying times.

Sorry to hear about this. I was just there Oct 16th-18th for the NMCA World Finals / LSX Shootout,,my first time in Memphis. A very nice facility,,, especially compared to the national event track in my own back yard!
Hopefully the place will get "rescued" and not go the way of Ontario Motor Speedway,,Orange County Raceway,,and (insert name here), among others that are no longer with us.

I liked Memphis too. Fairly easy pull for me and a nice facility compared to many. It was fun to play SCCA racer coming off the end of the track where the return road was part of the road course. I always felt like the car needed a couple of rounds of wedge to really cut that corner though.

Sorry to see it go. Sounds like a good candidate for George Howard to add to his collection.
