Re: IHRA Cancels Cayuga National Event
Andrew and others,
It would appear to me there is a total difference of opinion between those who race at Cayuga regularily ( as you do Andrew) and those who compete at only the national event.
Andrew, I was at the event last September for only the third time in 11 years. TMP aka Cayuga was my home track for over 20 years prior to my move West. Steve and I talk every week during the year and I am aware of what has transpired at the facility.
IHRA appears to be "pulling some political punches" but Uli must take some responsilbility for some of the inadequacies at the facility. He was told 3-4 years ago some things needed to be addressed. The pit pavement (cracked and incomplete) is the same as it was 11 years ago when I left!
In the end, the two must resolve their differences and move on. It would be a shame to see the event disappear as the GTA can certainly support the event very well. The cross border experience "perception" appears to be keeping car counts low at the event.
Just my .02 cents!
