[Wichita-SCCA] Speaking of sites

[Bill Dayton]

Actually, the grass in most areas is not much worse than the grass in the
cracks at Greyhound Park. It is prettty bad along the edges. A short term
answer may be weed eaters & blowers.If the site can be acquired, I would
expect one or more work days to prepare for its use. However, at this point,
it's just an idea that hasn't been properly researched.

There were road races there until about 1990, and there was at least one
Solo Nationals there, about 1980. I lived in Hutchinson at that time.
