I commend IHRA for sticking to their guns. Last year was the first year I attended TMP and was a little disappointed in the facility. Some of the pit roads really sucked and the lighting was the worst I've ever seen anywhere. I had to have someone lead me to the staging lanes at night, I couldn't see anything. Something I also noticed was the amount of trash laying around the place, definately was not up to national event facility standards!! The washrooms, however, were very nice. They make Milans look like a whole in the ground, oh wait, they are. It does suck that I won't get to defend my 1st national event win, and the fans up there were absolutly awesome, eah. Hopefully they can get something worked out for next year. The thing I don't fully understand is why they don't make some of the other tracks upgrade certain things also, like Milans bathrooms, and some of the few paved pit roads at rockingham (potholes as bad as TMP) . Just my $.02
