Re: Memphis
Bob, I wish it would go back just like it was. I don't think IHRA could draw enough cars or people (Locals are used to seeing the big names at the national events.) to make any money there.

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.
