ECONOMY | "You have to go back to 1966 to find a time when there were fewer bureaucrats " 

Lin Neal "The Real Deal" shared the news this morning that Darana Memphis Motorsports Park plans have changed. The IHRA Midsouth Team Finals from October 15–18, and the IHRA Sportsman Bracket Racing World Finals from October 22–24 are no longer on the IHRA schedule.  

The organization that purchesed the abandoned track had announced plans to return it to active racing in late September and October.  All events have been removed from the calendar.  The BIG question for race fans in the Mid-South is, WHY?   

What happened after demo of the structures began?  Why the sudden stopage and no return to renovations? 

Discouraged fans on our facebook post showed frustration-  "A lot of hype that had race fans in the area very excited" - J. Saddler.   "I was there the day they started taking down the old concession buildings and was so excited" - Jimmy, Raleigh.   "I knew it was too good to be true, a pipe dream I guess" - Shirley, Atoka

No official word has been given on rrestarting the renovations at the facility.
