The location (100 miles from nowhere) does make it a tough sell but it's a good little track and the operators treat you well.

Same thing happened at Tulsa. They heard from the NHRA the day the schedule came out. The track owner dropped the AHRA race like a hot bolt. So far the racers at Tulsa have not been impressed with the NHRA because of all the new fees. (Like the $10 pit vehicle fee.) A weekend or two ago the chassis inspector was there all day Saturday and had cars left over.
