I've been away from the computer several days and just checked this out. Sorry, I didn't want to cause any problems....Just kind of missed the place and wanted to bring the car there once I get it done and hopefully gas prices stabilize....that is if they got the Empire Nat's back. I'm pretty sure that at least 50% of the total entries of the past races if not more were within let's say a 5-hour tow of the track, and with everybody watching budgets these days, I thought it might have been a viable option for many racers. Mike, I wasn't there in the 'Empire Dragway' days, but I'm certainly impressed with the improvements you said the Metcalfes have made. And they certainly can run the place any way they set fit...after all it's THEIRS! Wasn't sure that hosting the big Event doesn't mean automatic PROFITS!?!? I do miss the old-time National Event feel the place had when it hosted the Nats compared to the feeling you get at some of the Motorplexes today....and that's not a knock on NYIRP or the Metcalfes'.....believe me! I think I've said too much...I do hope they bring back the Empire Nats. some day! Bye!
