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.

hello Ken, really enjoy your travel videos, thanks. I tow with a full size pickup so I never use truck stop pumps, what is the reason for laying the left pump nozzle on ground when using right side pump?
gary

Thanks, To use a satellite pump you have to lift the handle on the left pump, no other place to put the pump handle other than the ground.

Any word on where this race will finish

[Billy Nees]

I had a couple of Racers tell me that it'll be finished at The Dutch.
