I thought so too. That would be something worth going to. PHX not so much.

Yeah, I wish it was Portland, Phoenix rovalish like Nazareth, so it's less ho-hum than Richmond.

Didn't something like 3000 people show up the last time the IRL tried that, and IIRC that was the end of the once famously popular Copper Classic?

I'd forgotten about that. I just assumed the Copper had fallen due NASCAR because I think it was dead before the era of upside down bathtub racing
