Default Re: Memphis motorsports park

The word in this part of the world is the 1/8(!) mile track in Holly Springs is hurting the weekly attendance @ MMP...I guess the 1/8 mile track has some CRAZY payouts, so the weekly guys are going there. No doubt MMP could pack them in for the big events, but the weekly regulars are what keeps the lights on. After the pending deal fell through, there was talk of folks scrambling to find another buyer, but I'm guessing they couldn't compete with the $$$ the railroad offered. NASCAR announced a few months ago they were moving their Memphis date to St. Louis, and I heard recently the HUGE NMCA event was gonna be @ Gateway in '10, so the writing was on the wall. Boy oh boy, hard to believe, as MMP was one of the nicest facilities in the country.

I am *MAJORLY* bummed about this...now we're looking @ a 200+ mile drive to get to a nice track (Gateway)...
