VMP - Could be IHRA in 2026 but if so, we lose one which MIR will mostly take
MIR - Great Track, parking is hit or miss
Numidia - was told by a few sources they only want a double and no opens
Epping - Heard a rumor that the Divisional might be off the schedule in 26...like I said Rumor
Cecil Co.
Leb Valley
Maple Grove
Toronto

So, 7 total tracks that could host a Divisional, bottom line these tracks just don't make the money on Divisionals like they used too so they are shy at wanting to host one unless it's a double because then you can pack the place with 500-600 cars, VMP was kind of shocking but I think you had the Indy Hangover, MG / Charlotte following weekends, kids going back to school, summer vacations over the holiday plus money...thats a big chunk over 4-5 weeks.

A double at Epping might help the car count, make the trip worthwhile for some.
