I've been to both. CIR is better. The facility is better at CIR, the karts are gas powered at CIR and propane powered at MPGP.
The owner - Tony Stewart (british race car driver, NOT the nascar guy) of CIR spent the $ on a proper exhaust system for CIR to allow gas karts indoors. MPGP skipped the exhaust system and got aound this issue by using propane karts. The grip is better at CIR meaning the driver's racecraft is tested at the limit, like racing should be.
Then there is that safety issue I have sitting next to a 20 pound tank of propane. They could have at least used a steel braided line from the propane tank to the engine.
BTW...I am a customer and am no way affiliated with CIR although at times I feel I should be.
