I made an offer to buy the show which gained me Norwalk and Columbus Dates

Offer was accepted

I called national trails in columbus and introduced myself and wanted to get some dialogue started with the track.

They explained to me that monster Mopar would not be granted a date at their track.

They had some wierd notion that I had partnered with blankinships.

Once that was cleared up there was no reason for me to purchase the company as I was confident in earning the Norwalk date on my own merit which I did.

well I had 3 planned until Friday.....


Norwalk is 2nd weekend in September like always

Indy is shaping up to be last weekend in June

St Louis was going to be the 2nd weekend in May, but it appears the track bumped us off their schedule for the Super Chevy Mopar Action wannabe mopar thing

Ain't that a heck of a note,get one show in and they slam the door in your face.

Josh, this sucks. I've never seen someone work so hard to start a series and get screwed by half the tracks you planned to race at...where the series had run in one form or another for years at both locations!
As there are many fish in the sea there are many drag strips in the Midwest. I know the discussion has happened elsewhere on this forum but I do believe Pittsburgh or Quaker City in northeast Ohio are both worth a look!
Good luck, don't get discouraged, and thanks for the work you've put in already!

WELL ain't that just great!
Then why not look at Bowling Green or Bristol around the same time frame as St Louis was supposed to have been. And book Pitt instead of Columbus in their time slot.

Well I'm from Michigan too, but US 131 is a great track, still a 3 hour drive for me but well worth the trip.

Norwalk is closer to me than 131 so I can't be that biased, can I? LOL

Never been there but heard good things about Stanton's Mid Michigan Motorplex too


Stanton is super nice, at least it was 10 years ago when I was there. Too far north though, especially with Norwalk and Indy.

As far as Stanton go's it's falling apart, and getting worst every year.
Now 131 is top notch track. All summer long it's full of NHRA/IHRA pro cars during the week.
Would like to see 131 on the short list .

I like 131. Didn't know Stanton was going downhill, then again, I've never been there.

I'd rather race at 131 than Mid-Mich... 131 is just
nicer all the way around... plus 131 is IHRA... Mid-Mich
is NHRA
