What happened to the Keystone Race?

I know that I'm probably stepping in the big puddle but I have to ask, What has happened to one of the best run facilities in the NHRA Kingdom. I've alway's made it one of my " will be there no matter what race', but not this year. Mostly after the way they treated fans and racers alike last year, not one time did someone used the microphone to let us know what they were doing when water started to seep on the track! They just cancelled the sportsmans and went with the pro's, who bitch and cried(with reasons) about poor track condition. Why couldn't the management of Maple Grove be prepared and invest in proper drainage equipment. A friend who is a drainage engineer for airports across the U.S and Canada says the technology is available at a very low price(probably less than $125.000.oo) all you need is drainage and a pumping station that could handle all the water the area might need. Now I read that no one has bother to go and tech all the racers at the VR Mall, what they don't count? NHRA wake up! Claude Ruel
