Just wanted to say a quick "Thank You" to everyone on this forum who has supported us unconditionally from day 1. We will not give up on finding a new home for this event and have high hopes of returning in the future.

Mook, Brian and the TCG staff have all been a huge help and we can't thank you enough for your efforts!

Take care guys and let's keep our heads up!

 

[Mook]

We all have faith in this event returning!

i think [MENTION=11218]lastls1[/MENTION] needs to understand wannagofast doesn't own the airport

Is there anything we can do? Petitions, lobbying anything? It could really bring in some revenue. And it's mostly all profit

Broke ass state has money to buy an airport.

There has to be an abandoned airport around the Detroit area I would think .

I know someone else who had inquired with them about the same type of event and at the time (2yrs ago) they were willing to hear ideas.

 

[Smokinhot]

I'm glad I ran on the last day!!! This sucks though

As long as they find something in the Midwest that would be great. There's gotta be an airport in Indiana or Iowa that will work.

I'm sure Iowa it self has a road that would work.

 

[SleeperLS]

That is some crappy news.

 

[boostedguy05]

WOW! like others have said I am thankful I was able to be a driver this pay event and a spectator at last year's. I do have how that Blake and his team will find a replacement location for the event.

He just wanted to fly

Illinois has purchased Bult Field, a general aviation airport in the footprint of the proposed South Suburban Airport, for $34 million.

That’s $32.5 million more than the state could have paid for the 288 acres about 10 years ago.

He purchased property nearby that included the old grass runway of Sanger Field, which began as a county airport in 1948 but was no longer being used. The property had been advertised for public sale at $1.5 million.

I want to own an airport. I never realized it was owned by one guy.
