I don't think changing the name changes the race. I say don't mess with the Dutch. Now a Sportsnationals in addition to the Dutch would be awesome.
You don't pay $310 to enter a Sportsnational, it's $230. Plus, you win a heck of a lot more than $1000 unless you have no decals on your car!! And, you get the big wally!

I think Numidia would be a heck of a place for a Sportsnational! Maple Grove would also, and it's been proven you can get a crowd in there! Look at the points race when they gave away those carload tix for $5, or whatever they charged! The problem with sportsman races drawing a crowd is lack of advertising!
