It would really stink for the most populated division to only have one national in D1, you think MG is hard to get into now, just wait if we only have one National Event, it will be like Gainesville & Norwalk. I mean where else could you see a D1 National being held unless they can smooth over VMP again to host. I know NED was working on expanding the facility but, like Atco there are in a pineland restriction area and I believe got taken to court over them tearing down trees.

As far as only 48 STK / 32 SS unlike previous years / events when they extended the drop period due to weather this was more of a “you don’t show up and make a run, you get a credit for another event down the road” nothing else for you to do, so you really didn’t know how many cars were really going to show until Q1 Friday AM to allow more people in. I can also say that FB is a buzz right now on 1st round of the sportsman with stock & sc a lot of aborted runs, cars sideways due to it raining.

I don’t really know the solution to make NED work unless it’s piggy backed with another closer NE like the hood old days of Sanair & Etown. Maybe NED & VMP, two events far away from each other that the Pros would travel too and you get two different crowds. I just know talking to racers at MG last weekend that MG, NED and then LVD and for some Bristol / Norwalk was a tough chunk to swallow for that many weeks in a row.
