You have to be kidding.

Re: Sports nationals to return to COLUMBUS ....
 

July 18-19 works out as a Saturday-Sunday race only with the addition of Alcohol cars to boot.

Have they released the d3 schedule for 2020 yet?

The Sportsnationals National Event was there at National Trail this year


The Sports Nationals National Open was at Beech Bend this year

Let’s see, it was a 3 day race this year and it went very smoothly. Next year the ALCOHOL cars will join us and it is scheduled as a 2 day race. Makes perfectly good SENSE to me....OH, and it is going to be hotter than hell .....For those not at Columbus this year the track was marginal, at best. ...throw some July temps in the mix and the starting line could very well be suspect.

We know, we were there RACING......

Don't forget there is a good chance the Indy pts meet will be the week of July 3-5 like it has been the last 3 years. So that would mean a min of 4 hot ***** weeks of racing in a row maybe 5 depending on when the Joliet pts fits into the schedule. Great schedule, everyone loves racing when its 90 plus degrees and 90 plus humidity.

Thank god they now have mechanical rain delays(AF/AD) at the Sportsnats now. That event was almost to smooth it needed to be screwed with. can't wait to see how many fans those two category bring in.

Why not just sit out the summer months?

Re: Sports nationals to return to COLUMBUS ....
 

Its a double.New LODRS schedule say Columbus LODRS is on 7/16 17 2020, then Sportnationals to follow. Will get a few more cars doing it that way I think.

Re: Sports nationals to return to COLUMBUS ....
 

It's a lot of racing, but I think it's a great plan to do both in one weekend, hopefully there will be a reduction in qualifying passes to make sure both races can be squeezed in. Overall I think the D3 schedule is really good for next year, spread out pretty well. Yeah, it's going to be hot as hell, but that's a lot better than what we got at the divisional this year.

Re: Sports nationals to return to COLUMBUS ....
 

I for one would like to see a round of Stock done before Sunday .With the Alcohol cars there it is going to be tuff getting all eliminations done in one day for the Sportnationals race.

Re: Sports nationals to return to COLUMBUS ....
 

Upon further review, I like this .....Still not sure a National event can be completed in 2 days though ?? ....One tow, 2 grade points, a points meet and National event....it was exciting to see 400 pizzas spread on the tables....:)
