Cool, maybe the NMRA will drop Columbus and go there.

"Along with the announcement of Norwalk going NHRA,was the announcement
that a entirely new 1/4 mile drag strip to be built at a motorsport
complex in Mansfield,Ohio. It will be an IHRA facility,& will be the
new home of the IHRA World Nationals.
This facility has a couple of different tracks now.

Bill Bader now has a minority ownership in the IHRA. He sold off the
biggest part to I believe Live Nation out of Texas. They do a lot of
concerts and other entertainment programs and a lot of TV programs."

Would the Mansfield dragstrip be part of the Mid-Ohio complex? That's a nice road-racing facility in Mansfield.

I hope Live Nation doesn't screw up a good track.

I found an article on it. I didn't know there was even another track in Mansfield. It's not exactly a what I'd call a city.
