IHRA Cancels Cayuga National Event

[CrateCamaro]

I talked to Skooter today twice via email and he said that there were 5 things in the contract that needed to be fulfilled and nothing was done yet. Drainage, paving, lighting in the pits, lighting on the return road, and washrooms. And it seems like it always rained on that weekend for some reason.Basically, instead of doing 3 months of work in three days AGAIN, they will pospone the race untill a solution can be made. He wouldn't say that Cayuga was dropped...all he said was "We can't afford to loose a race because we all have to eat". I personally think that the drainage should be adressed for safety but i've never had a problem with the lighting and I like the way TMP is right now. Its a mix of modern with that 70's vibe. Call me old school I guess. As far as the pits go, if Don Prudomme, Don Garlits, and all the rest of the greats could pit in the stones and tough it out for 4 days "for the love of the sport" then we all can too. Everyone thinks they need a perfectly paved pit spot so they can feel like there at there state of the art shop. Too many hotshots, not enough hero's. Hero's went out with Modified Production.
