If you have a traction problem at BG, your car has a problem.

Re: Sports Nats moves back to Columbus....
 
I hate that the Sports is changing locations but i suspect it is more a Jegs deal than anything else. I'm a lot closer to BG than NT but that will not stop me from participating next year. I'm glad there will be a quality race in September for sportsmen cars. No doubt BG is a better facility and NT needs to up-grade their restrooms but in the end it's a drag race. If the track is good and we can race and have an enjoyable week end, lets do it. I'm old(70) and don't want to argue about a decision I can't change. It's done and I plan on going because I like that race more than Indy. Hope to see all my racing friends there. Larry Wilson SS 3058

So what did Dallas Jones do wrong to lose the race? He and his staff do a great job!

Everyone is a loser on this change.

We were very fortunate to host the JEGS SportsNationals for 3 years and enjoyed our moment in the spotlight of once again hosting a NHRA National event and wish them luck in Columbus!


But we are also excited about the National Open returning and currently dreaming up something special for the Super Stock/Stock crowd for Saturday night!
Great to hear!

I think Jeg's likes the idea of having the race "in their backyard", which you really can't blame them. I'm just glad they support it and it's still in Division 3.

I remember the 1990 All-Stars race there. There were a lot of cars under water..............

We went there once. That will be the last time. If I want to go to a ****ty track I’ll go to Noble....

Bowling Green is a really cool track, and I have always enjoyed going there the 5 or so times that I have gone to the lodrs race. I expect that Columbus has and will continue to improve. Jay Livingston , who was in charge at Woodburn , left that track which was his families business and is now on his own and a part owner of Trails(Columbus). I expect that he will improve Trails. Certainly Jegs must be happy to have the Sports back close to their home, and yes, I believe they should have some say in it, as they maybe the reason we even have a Sportsnationals

I have raced at Bowling Green for one year now traction is not a problem there .always the best starting line and the owners are very aware of and appreciate their customers .Dallas and Broc are the best

Its always about the money. nhra probably wanted more than Dallas was willing to pay.
