Allsports Grand Prix will close August 2nd

We have been negotiating our lease renewal for some time and expected till the last minute to reach an agreement. Regretfully, our landlord greed (+36.5% increase plus yearly escalations) would force us into 5 years of yearly losses which I am not ready to do. So, to our great regret we will close after the Kids school.

Of course, all deposits and race credits will be refunded.

Thank you to all racers, parents and companies which have supported us for 15 years. It was fun and I will miss you all.

Please direct any negative comments to: Omar.Anwarzai50@gmail.com, not us.

God bless you all.

Their website does suggest that all race credits will be refunded. Sounds like you might get your money back.



I know these guys from my industrial condo management days. They were one of our tenants - they had a small shop where they would service the carts and store supplies. They were one of our best tenants.

Good to know about the refunds - I have a bunch, too. I bought the mega pack and then moved to Maryland. (I think that was the time I met you?)

Autobahn is building one in Manassas

Satellite radio blows about as much as regular radio. After that 3 month trial they come after you. Get ready for telemarketing & more junk mail.
Even with all the above said, I would still argue satellite radio is marginally better than regular radio. But only because there are far less commercials.

I HATE RADIO COMMERCIALS.

The only regular radio station I will even listen to is WTOP (traffic and news). Eff the rest of em...





But... Yea... It all sucks. SiriusXM doesn't even have a D&B station.
I had free XM in the Vette for a year now I just use a ipod, I have a 3 month trial in the Genesis and I may try for a deal as I really like it on my commute now.

I hate the regular radio as they play same songs over and over plus commericals, or I listen to talk radio (politics) and that just makes me
