Madison drag strip

I read in the newspaper today that NHRA is not going to have a race at Gateway in 2011. I understand a few weeks ago NASCAR will no longer be racing there either.

What has happened? I thought NHRA was doing pretty good there.

Re: Madison drag strip

I heard the same thing.

To get tix for a NASCAR race, do you have to get a package deal?

I've been told that @ the Route 66 NASCAR track, you have to buy a package, which has alot of different races--Formula 1, CART // INDY CAR,
Stock Manufacturers Race, GT, NCTS, Busch, & NASCAR **ALL** for the same seating, all races included in price.LARGE CASHOLA!!

NHRA-- Man, just get the tix you want, go thru the pits, have a blast, get autographs, watch the pit mayhem, have a blast, watch the races, have a blast, get sunburned, have a blast!!!

But I haven't heard why...... it's been taken off the schedule.
IHRA taking..??..
