IHRA Cancels Cayuga National Event

[luckydog]

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

the be all and the end all is that this sucks for everyone! to me, it wasnt bad enough for me to-not race there. it also has to do with whos complaining. example if they cancelled edmonton instead, how many of us would care?? cmon now really. im bummed because this event was in my backyard .so if you live down south it dosent affect you.(as much) also i am a sportsman racer not a top fuel car. pitting a team in a potholed track is another story. now, who will the top brass pay more attention to? im hoping that it can be worked out in the very near future for the good of the motorsports aspect. how many more tracks can we lose?
