Maybe my favorite place to shoot moto in person and watch races. Hard to believe.

Yes, it's a bummer, I never got to visit there, I need to go to Unidilla and High Point before something changes again.

Why was this decision made? The Moto Gods are NOT happy about this sacrilege.

Property owner and those who lease it had some bad blood. One tried to get the upper hand, but underestimated the other. Something like that for the most part. Way too much to type right now.

I think there will be a whole lot of people looking back wondering how this all happened. I could understand more if the landowner sold to a developer for big bucks and walked away rich but it seems more like a pissing contest gone bad. I guess everybody is gonna lose on this deal.

Make it a Moto-Monaco and just build the city around it. Race on it once a year.

Just another one of the great tracks I never did make it to. A real bummer this place is going away. I wish some die hard moto head with a lot of coin would pick it up and keep it going.

On a side note....John Dowd and his son are going to make some big news tomorrow if they both qualify. Cool seeing John step down from the pro nationals and have his boy ride his first one ever. Good story for a sad day.

Now when times are difficult and Sponsors and Factory teams are pulling out of the National Races. It is amazing and refreshing to see a Dealer to step up, and pay back to a sport they Love and have Competed/Sponsored. With out the Nationals, we lose the pinnacle of our sport. Our children lose their heroes and inspirations. Losing an icon track, is also difficult. I hope it is one of the Best Races of the season. Thanks Kenny, Chaplin Kawasaki.

well the powers that be, seem to think, taking the tracks to car facilities is going to make it more interesting. BlinkSadUnsure

I never got to attend the wick, but i always watch it every year no matter what.. and I'm definitely going to miss that rough place.

So this could be the work of ONE man?

I can think of another tragedy by the hand of one man well POS lets call it like it is

I regret not having gone to more races. I only went in 2010. I'm about to leave to go there now. I can't miss the last one.

Such a shame to hear that it is leaving and even worse to hear why. Oh well, maybe they will finally make a national in the SE for the people down there.
