2009 Nationals?
Posted: May 13th, 2008, 12:12 am
With the departure of the Runoffs from HPT after this year, the Nationals are homeless. The National office is actively searching for a new site. Inquiries were apparently made about the use of the former Richards-Gebauer Air Force Base in Grandview, MO. Kansas City owns the facility and is turning into a multi-modal freight terminal. The city isn't interested in our little event. I understand that several regions have been contacted concerning the suitability of their venues.
So where do we go next? Anyone have any ideas as to a suitable facility? The criteria include two pads at least 700' by 700' (and two 1000' x 1000' pads would still be small than Forbes was), a paddock area of about 1000' x 1500', and sufficient hotel space to accomodate around 2500 people.
