Agree to buy many times is just like the guy who says i want to buy your car and on the way who never shows up , the whole world is full of talkers , lets wait to see what really happens.

Darlington Dragway, Bear Aiken, and Jeff Miles just posted a picture with the new owner of IHRA and the new president this morning of the group at Darlington. Looks like they are serious about purchasing all these tracks.

Tell the new IHRA Owner that there is a beautiful Auto facility in N.W. Arizona (right off Interstate I-40 in Beautiful Yucca, AZ between Kingman, AZ and Needles, CA, up for sale now that has every type of auto racing track known to man Formerly the Ford Proving Grounds and now the Chrysler Proving Grounds that would not only make a great IHRA Drag Racing location but would/could become a Premier All around MotorSports Facillity for all types of auto racing. It it huge, it also has a huge price tag attached, has been used for decades as nothing but private auto mfg. Automotive Proving Grounds is in pristine condition and only needs spectator stands installed.
Yes, it is also in the dead center of nowhere in the desert. But, that means fewer local residents to drive it out of business or complain about noise. And located dead center of the Phoenix, L.A.(SoCal), and Las Vegas Metro areas. We could sure use an IHRA Track out west (right dead center in the middle of Firebird, Pomona, and the Las Vegas Speedway complex!) Sure, it would take a conglomerate of Billionaires to get it and get it off the ground, but the possibilities are endless once they snatch it up! Google Maps...Yucca, AZ go look at the overhead view you cannot miss the For Sale Facillity! (Bonus...it is only a 20 min drive from my house at AZ friendly 75MPH Interstate speeds). It would almost make me move a bit west to Yucca so I could drive across the street to race (no complainers there about noise either as far as existing residents, because most of those that live locally are under U.S. Marshall's protection...a very well know fact, and they would shy away from exposure it could cause).
