D1 at Maple Grove or Jeg's Sportsnationals at Bowling Green?
 

I will be attending 1 of these races; however, because they are on the same dates, I obviously can't attend both. My question is; which should be the better race to attend from a Stock/Super Stock perspective? Any and all advice will be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

If you have not been to Bowling Green, you may want to go just to experience the track, that being said you could also go there the week before Indy and then drive up for the Labor day weekend race. With Unk announcing, you can't go wrong either way.

Bill - Go to Bowling Green. It's a legendary track and there will be class run offs in stock and super stock. If you're a Stk/SS junkie, it's a no-brainer.

We are contesting the 3rd annual SS/AH Tim Hebert Chootout and have over twenty cars intending to attend. NHRA giving a grade point is also a big plus. A little bird told me some old camo cars may show. A little SHAM vs SECRETARIAT show.

It would be great if NHRA gifted the class racers at the Sportsnationals this year by turning off the AHFS for that special event and let us run without penalty.

I may be a little biased about this (as Maple Grove is my home track ) and the Sportsnationals will certainly be a great event with Unk announcing but the Divisional at Maple Grove will be packed with Stock/Superstock action as Stock will have as usual a full field and S/S certainly will have a high number of entries . And the weather is always terrific for the MG event .

And Bowling Green doesn't have the 'Shady Maple'.......

Jack quit giving this gentleman bad info. BG sports is by far a way better choice.

Alan you need to get back to reality. Not having AHFS at a national event (lol). If turbo cars we're factored close to correct you and Marty would have nothing to worry about.

Charley - No bad info - just stating the facts ..........As I see them .And I did state that i'm biased ! ! !

Are you sure about this being credited for a grade point...the first I've heard of this..

From NHRA website:

"The JEGS SPORTSnationals, the premier standalone event in the NHRA Lucas Oil Drag Racing Series, will continue to be a national event with national points being awarded for all classes except Super Street, which will earn divisional championship points. New in 2016, all racers will receive an NHRA national event grade point for attending the race."
