2016 Sports Nationals Dates and Tracks?

Jeff, you are right.
That would just add one more reason to go. Otherwise it is just a National Bracket race for fast guys. NHRA Should let everyone cut loose.
After all it is "THE Sportsman National" where the sportsman "only" is the show. Make it a FAST show......

^^ I agree.

If NHRA would make this like a National Open ( able to set 1/8th and 1/4 records) and no AHFS then that would really make it the ultimate Sportsnationals.

Charlie, When you show up at Maple Grove at the end of the year it is fast. Almost as fast as the Indy open. Come to one of our tracks during the summer time. I would always pick up about a tenth going to Indy over the Lebanon Valley div. It sucks that these two races are on the same weekend. Bowling Green has to be one of the best tracks to watch sportsman racing. And it sure has the history. I'm glad to see this race back where it belongs. Now if I can only steal a car. It would be worth the trip to see your Dad and brother. The good son. LOL Barry

P.S. The only reason most of the Div one guys stay clear of Div two is they have heard about you farm boys and sheep running scared.

Hope they spread the word to spectators. Part of the dra w to the park in the 70s was 10 cent camping for the week end. The rides drew their share too. Great to see the Jegs support of a race with great history, facility and location.
