that's an excellent point there Ed.

Re: Memphis
 

I would love to see it go IHRA. We need some places to race that are not NHRA and would give NHRA some competition. How about one of those IHRA sportsman national events at Memphis. They use to draw a lot of stock and super stock for the points race in Memphis.

Re: Memphis
 

Greg, that is a big facility with a lot of overhead. I would to see it go broke again. I don't see IHRA being able to draw enough to make money. They don't have the names to draw enough people to fill it up like they need to. Just not that many want to see jet fire trucks.

Re: Memphis
 

Ed for what they bought it for the overhead should be manageable. I know Bowling Green is a very profitable race track and it doesn't have a National event, but it does stay busy all the time. Memphis use to have a bunch of races other than NHRA races. NMCA , super chevy, big buck bracket races and a bunch more.

Re: Memphis
 

isn't IHRA still running the complete 1/4 mile. i would think a lot of people would like to see some big cars run on a good facility. lots of guys used to run both.

Re: Memphis
 

Sounds like Memphis/IHRA is a done deal!

Re: Memphis
 

Keep in mind they got the round track and road course too. They don't have to make all the money off the 1/4 mile. I will also bet NASCAR will like to go back especially if Nashville closes.

I'll bet IHRA TOC will end up there.

Re: Memphis
 

I'd be surprised if they drew 1/2 as many cars.

Re: Memphis
 

I don't know why, but your right. They never do.

Re: Memphis
 

Maybe with all the fee increases and how they treat the stock and S/S guys over this new car crap they might draw more cars than you think this year.
