I definitely agree the Million should have been at Elko! The 3 mile commute would have killed me....
I actually spoke to "the powers that be" about having all 3 nationals at one location which would save on travel and promote crossover from asphalt, road course and dirt. They loved the idea but there are only 3 places that you could do this. Charlotte, Texas, and Vegas. The first two do not have a REAL oval for asphalt or a big road course, but at least it would be in one place. We are trying to get the asphalt nats here in Elko the week before IF it doesnt go to Colorado. I have raced at the dirt track at TMS and the only issue that will come up is that it is too big for legends. I dont think it is and most guys who ran there would say the same but INEX doesnt like 4/10 mile tracks too much. My biggest complaint about the 13 national events that I have been to ( 3 dirt, 8 asphalt, and 2 road course) is that many of the tracks dont know how to put on a show or they are complete dives. This past year, Langley was a joke with the dirt pits and then running everything from the infield, and Missouri, wow, that was way too local yocal for me. Nothing against any drivers from those areas, just those facilities should NOT host National events. I would have to say, (my opinion only here) is that Vegas, Elko, Lucas Oil, Erie, Dodge City, and Infineon are the only ones that came close to getting it right. Dodge City and Lucas Oil were in the middle of nowhere though. Im not saying that we know it all, but Elko has hosted several National series races with Television and the whole works, not to mention that the facility has the infrastructure to handle these types of events. Personally, I vote for VEGAS every year and have all 3 events in one week! Then lets take whats left and line em up side by side on the dragstrip!! Besides, who doesnt want to spend a week in Vegas?
