Default Leicester, NY?

With Norwalk gone to NHRA, and Mansfield not done, I wonder if it would make sense to bring back the Leicester track on the IHRA Nat. Event schedule? I know the big race ran there some 12 years or so, but was wondering why they pulled the plug there? Seems it's pretty centrally located and pulled racers in from Toronto and Ontario, much of NY and PA, central and northern Ohio, as well as points east. I was there several times watching, and it seemed that car counts were plentiful, and the pits had ample space. i do know that it is an older facility, and had some wear and tear, but seemed to draw many spectators regardless so they must have made money there? The ability to cross over from the spectator side to the pit side was a bit of a pain and the Pro pits seemed tiny compared to other major tracks, but you lived with these problems if you went. Defintely one of the longest shutdown areas too! Any racers here care to comment on running there at the big event, track conditions, fun they had there, or bad experiences? Also, I've wondered with some major companies a few miles north in downtown Rochester, that either track management or IHRA officials lobbied for some help for the track or the event? I think I heard that at one time that this event was one of the largest in ticket sales on the IHRA Nat'l Event tour, so I'm wondering why it's gone?
