Default MMP being sold??

http://forums.dragcoverage.com/YaBB....num=1124966556

I hope this isn't correct, because I hate to see dragstrips developed into something else or abandoned. I know there's a group on here that frequent MMP, so I just thought I'd let you guys know.

Rumors like that have been flying for years. I would really be pissed if MMP closed, 'cause the nearest *good* track to me is Silver Dollar.

I guess that I'll just have to get a G-Tech Pro and take it to the street.

FWIW, I'm out there most every Friday, doing my part to support it.

I hope it's just rumors. Maybe to drum up some attendance.

Super Chevy moved to the new South Georgia Motorsports Park in Valdosta, GA.

SuperChevy did not have a good turn out last few years. If the demand is there, they will be back. That would absolutely suck if mmp goes. There are far too many 1/8 mile tracks out there. The 1/8 is just a teaser for most cars.
