HMMMM, what gives Max?

surprised they didn't keep the race at National Trail since it is their home.

The Sportsnationals back where it should be. This will be a huge race, maybe 700 cars total. Look for a full field in both stock and super stock. Yee ha!

Not that very many people ever attend the Maple Grove divisional or anything...

I realize there's only so many weekends, but really?

Farewell Cajun Sportsnats, I was looking forward to going back again in 2016.

Dragsinger · 11-19-2015, 05:39 PM

there was a rumor about one race being at Ennis. Any news about that?

Guess when there's only 2 major supporters of the sportman(Lucas and Jegs) they can disregard contracts or Nhra lied to make it look good I believe the latter haha.

http://nhra.com/story/2013/10/31/jeg...ortsnationals/

"JEGS Mail Order, a nationwide leader in the sales and distribution of parts and supplies for the aftermarket performance industry, has signed an agreement with NHRA to continue as the title sponsor for all three NHRA SPORTSnationals events through 2016".

Sucks though Belle Rose is by far one of my top 3 races to attend(behind the world footbrake challenge and southern footbrake challenge). Not only that but it's on top of Memphis Ihra Pro-am that I'm already obligated to.

Wasn't sure I would ever see the day that The Sports would return home to Bowling Green. For you young racers out there, this was a tremendous race back in the day. Hoping for great weather on Memorial Day weekend 2016.

It is good to see the race back at Beech Bend. The only problem I see is a race 3 weekends in a row. Nowalk, Beech Bend, and then RT 66. I will probably skip the race, it is very difficult to win the National Tittle for a little guy like me. But I will definetly considerate it. Steve Williams, S/G

The 1976 Sportsnationals @ Beech Bend was where I got hooked on drag racing as a teenager.

From that day on, when I heard " NHRA Sportsnationals " I would automatically think Bowling Green.
