D,
I like the track. Give them credit they ran 3 events in 3 days last year with rain coming. I think they did an outstanding job. I also plan on going back in 2009. I just think the place is a bit short for 1/4 mile racing.

Pittsburgh is definitely too short to be running 1/4 mile. In 2003 I almost put our S/R car in the sane up there with some assistance of the bumps past the stripe in the left lane. We were only running 155 mph, and I will say it was not a fun place to get stopped.

What about Grand Bend?

Last years event seemed to go well with reasonable car counts for a first year event. (As good as some of the regular Pro-Ams).Attendance considering the race was late in the season when most guys already had committed to divisions and points races.

There are lots of sportsman cars up here and lots in neighbouring states to support a race here. At least give us a fair shot.

Seems this would be a good alternative since loosing Milan. And there sure is no problem running 1/4 mile there. Good track prep and lots of space to park, good people. I've travelled enough in my time to know there are lots of way worse places.

And the border crossing is no big deal!!

Chip,
Any of the S/R - Q/R cars that are running over a 150 should be using the chutes anyway!

Chris K,
You don't get it. Get out of your slow ***** stocker and drive something with some MPH then try to stop it.
