Races Leaving Key West??
 
The Key West newspaper has an article about the races maybe leaving the Southern Most City.
Any reliable details or rumors regarding this grave and serious matter?

Funny comparison.
1. Indy almost died at one point, the track became a dump and luckily got bailed out.
2. We don't even know when Christ was born but choose an arbitrary date to celebrate.

Yeah, because there is soooo much happening in Clearwater.

I wouldn't drive across the state to see it.

We will still go to Key West the first week in November, no matter if there are Races or not.

What paper is it in I cant seem to find it? KW still has a few yrs in their contact so if there is any truth to it won't be for a few yrs.

I think most people are missing the point. If the races move to Clearwater it will get more exposure as it is #1 a more populated are and #2 easier and less expensive for most people to go to.

I love key west and am by no means talking bad about it but facts are facts.

cwater has superior accomodations, two international airports for easy ingress/egress, larger population, and most importantly the better beach side view for the public to see the races. kw is too expensive for even a general weekend stay and remote for most. time to change things up.
