Smells a LOT like Darryl got out-Darryl'd by Elon from here...
Jus' Sayin' ...

As I learned when I was just a wee young lad:
When you F*** with a F*****r. the F****n' ya get is the F****n' you GOT.

It still royally SUX for the racin' community - but I have mentioned before : Karma is REAL" ~ and racers don't forget very fast, if at all.

That’s because the windows are nearly falling out of the tower and jet cars would be a bad situation.

Crap.....was really looking forward to this year, since the past several years it was the same weekend as Norwalk and we were already at Norwalk. Last time we got to go was 2019, and that massive storm hit just as the first cars pre-staged for the elimination. 2020 was canceled.


Read in another post the tower is allegedly in not good shape. Shame if true.

Good question - I assume Darana owns it but do they hire a management team to take care of their facilities?

Was thinking that the last year or so at Maple Grove, before KK bought it, that the previous owner brought Mr. Bader in to either manager or be a consultant of sorts for whomever was managing it.

wasn't mike lewis involved with the grove prior to the korestky's purchase?

I wonder if the KK group regrets biting the hand that feed them by selling to DC IHRA. Now it's looking like they AREN'T getting anything $$ wise out of the deal.
That offer that was too good to refuse, well remember that saying. IF IT'S TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE IT PROBABLY ISN'T.

You can put green lipstick on a pig, but it’s still a pig.

Wes and drag illustrated were much more aware of what was going on than most of us. Offering double the money to his staff to leave and join them after they tried to hire Wes Buck. It almost sounded like a vendetta against Drag Illustrated. Mad respect for them though. They kept it all quiet and did not once say anything negative about IHRA while it was running.

Still wringing my socks out from that event.
