Motor City Nationals R.I.P.

I guess everything changes, it just seems it's changing back to how it was 10-15 yaers ago, when we first started running the IHRA tour. We had to do all the traveling then and it was kind of a pain since then basically we only had Norwalk that was close, as far as Nat's, had many trips driving thru the snow to get to the southern races, but we still did it. Someone posted that no matter what someone is going to have to drive farther and thats right, I for 1 only hate to see Milan go because it was 80 miles from the house. In my opinion the facilities are just not up to a Nat. event although they did pull it off, don't get me wrong I'm not dogging the track as far as normal weekend bracket racing goes it's fine just not really good for a Nat.I would have really hated to see Martin go as this is in my opinion a very nice facilaty of course it' a 5 hour ride versus a1 hour trip to Milan. I suppose everyone is going to have their likes and dislikes about this NEW DEAL I for 1 haven't really made up my mind yet. Joe
