Ahh. I guess that makes sense so they can still run their other events....except drag racing.

Well, it's not like drag racing was how they got started in the first place or anything.

At least there will still be space for rusty garbage and toilet bowls car parts at the swap meet!

I heard they were going to close in the stands and make that area for concerts and other events. They want to keep the suites for those events. I’m sure the cars will be pit side. Lots of room over there for them. They also mentioned they are still having monster trucks there. Only event that will be good is the diesel nationals, the show part Obviously

I can see the motocross and the road race track events going on as in the past.

But say for instance the large events I sell detailing products at - Waterfest and Bimmerfest as examples, no. Those events (and some others) have drag racing, car shows, parking lot autocross, and lots of other things going on and honestly the organizers will just find another venue this year, or in 2019 if things are already booked up at Maple Grove or other larger venues with a 1/4 mile.

I follow OGs1320/ESR on IG, looks as if HDay is gonna be moved elsewhere. I’m sure all the other guys will follow. Went to a G8/Holden event this summer that I’m sure will also be moved to a location where there’s 1/4 mile.

I have a friend that works there and he said they only gave the employees a couple hours notice that they were no longer needed before they made there announcement. There has to be more to the story because those big events made them a lot of money. In the end it may all come out in the wash when the family fights with each other with the decision and the place totally closes.
