Thread: Good Guys MW Nationals Is No More

Tweet

Their schedule has a hole at the start of September....they either have a problem with the location in KC and had to cancel OR they have something larger in the wings and are waiting to announce such. Labor day is too big a money-maker for them to resist doing something.

It's the Speedway. Over the summer they did a total renovation of the infield, adding a road course track over by the back straight, and that was one of the major parking areas for Good Guys. The construction was nearly done by Labor Day, but the Good Guys Event moved out of the infield, to the area out front where they stage all of the FanWalk events for race weekend, and they put up some new fencing to segregate the area for Good Guys, along with designating a larger area for the Auto Cross. They did away with all of the track laps, and vendors were either up under the grandstands, or in their trailers - no indoor vendor areas which caused problems when it rained Friday and Saturday.

I agree, they will fill the hole for 2014, but it was apparently too late to make their 2013 Event Schedule, which is already published and accepting advance registrations. I look for a new location in 2014, either in the KC metro, or moved to some other place in the region.

A Labor Day show in Florida would be a great idea. While most of the country is having their 'last hurrah' of the summer that weekend, those of us in central Florida are still going strong with beautiful weather. Looking at the GG schedule, they have 11 events in the western states and only 5 east of the Mississippi, we need more on this side of the US.
