Is that green real?

It's now called DARANA RACEWAY at Maple Grove Park.

Sounds like it,should have waited for the elon money,wish it could have worked,nhra needs some competition

But he had enough money put away for 10 years!

I agree that NHRA needs competition. But the competition must be viable.

Where does it say anything positive?

I have a cattle ranch in central Texas,I have to be positive about things. Such as 1 day closer to rain. Really enjoyed my time and friends at IHRA races.

I guess trying to fund IHRA with money he was waiting for from Elon or others is better than the last guy, who used federal taxpayer money to fund his IHRA plans.

My Father in-law always said, don't let that dollar in the left hand go until the right hand has four more.
It must have worked he built a massive empire in his life.

 

[T.Smith]

Probably not

As of today the word is Maple Grove is closed indefinitely.

I would think the clock is ticking on taking it back.

Koretsky’s took it back last weekend. Kyle was there during their Street Car Takeover event. I’m sure they have closed it just to get their ducks in a row before re-opening.

Records show that the mortgage on Maple Grove is held by KPK of Berks LLC. KPK is owned by the Korestsky family. So, even though IHRA purchased the track, the Koretsky family holds the mortgage. Would it go back to them if IHRA defaults on the loan?

If official records show that KPK (Koretsky family) does in fact hold the mortgage to the Maple Grove Raceway property, then they will repossess / foreclose on the property if and when IHRA defaults on the loan or lease payments. They need to begin the legal process to repossess immediately before Cuttell Motorsports LLC dba IHRA files for bankruptcy which would be detrimental to the Koretsky family.
They need to take MG back from IHRA and either run it themselves or sell it for 100% cash to somebody else.
I doubt if NHRA is interested in buying Maple Grove or holding a national event there in the future.

I’m pretty sure NHRA would love to get back in that region. NHRA won’t be buying it and I don’t think the Koretsky family was really looking to sell it in the first place. They just got a stupid offer they couldn’t refuse.

See my post before yours. Koretsky’s took it back last weekend. NHRA will 100% go back there in the future.

That's AWESOME news!!!

That's AWESOME news!!!

It sure is! NHRA can get that market back and we have a true racing family owning it again.

My only hope is that one of the new additions this year doesn't lose out on the schedule down the road.

NHRA did drop the fall Zmax race off the schedule this year so maybe they can add the Grove national event back on

But they added Rockingham in that slot. Only way to add MG back on will be to increase the schedule or somebody losing a race.

if norwalk runs the last weekend of june, and bandimere is rebuilt, there would be 4 races between july 4th and labor day.
you could conceivably move the michigan race into summer and back to back it with brainerd, but the pro fields
seem stretched to their limits already with the available nhra purse money. IMO if a little more purse money was available, i think
nhra could expand to 21 races again and michigan/bir could work and host 5 races between norwalk and indy. if ihra showed us
anything, it showed with a little more money to cover the nut, independent racers were there ...... blah blah blah, and then maple grove
retains its position following indy.
