Please correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't Frankie cut the seating capacity of Gulf-a-Stream from 37,000 to 7,000 a few years back?

Calder has a 13-month meeting now, wonder what they think of it?
Anyone remember the hot, humid BC at GP when the Euros were sweating through their Winter coats?

Euro participation will suffer along with my interest in a BC in South Florida.
