SportsNationals Div.1

[John Bender]

I would love to see a Sportsnationals in Division One, but not at the cost of losing the Dutch. The Dutch is the last race for Division One racers who are not traveling for more points. It is a layed back race where records can be set, the racers can let it all hang out one more time before the winter rebuild or hiatus, and there is no pressure. It is generally a lot of fun because there are no points involved, and there are no first round heads ups. Plus the racer can win class. I would like to see the nhra and Maple Grove get together and have a makeup date. I would also like to see a lot more crushed stone in the grassy areas of the pits.
My two cents worth.

The Dutch is not that fantastic of a race anymore. There is to much crammed into to short of a time. You have to be there on Friday, and run first round on Saturday. I guess class is on Friday for stock, racing for plaques. Finishing that is hit or miss year to year. The attendance is down quite a bit from previous years. The last time i ran the Dutch I had to be there on Monday to finish the race.

Its national event time, run like a divisional, for open money. Tough to get revved up for that race anymore. Years ago it was good. No Top Sportsman or Dragster. No class. record runs on Friday and Saturday. You could get some runs in without having to take days off. First round on Sunday morning. A very layed back race to end the year.

Making it a National even would be fun and good money to win. Wally's for class, National points on the line. You don't have to pre register. That is the way I see it. Gives everybody a chance to get in a national, or run for one last Wally. Plus if you have had a great year, you have a chance to earn National event points without going West until you need to. We could draw a full field or more in stock. Just my .02

Leave the Dutch as is...DON'T change it! Probably a bit too late for a decent rain
date for this year's Dutch....

Don't forget the Mason-Dixon event coming up...for those wanting one more race this
year....

Not sure if I want a D1 Sportsnationals...there are plenty of races on the calendar
already....

Let's not forget Mike Beards's Northern Class Nationals coming up in the Spring!
He's already done a ton of behind-the scenes work to revive this race....and he
needs your support.

Looks like it's shaping up to be one heck of an event...and don't forget...this one's
for YOU!!!!!

I agree with Tom , the sportsnations in ohio is a great race . I've been there 3 times . They raced well into the night to finish class . Down side its a 8-9 hour tow and the air is not fast like M.G or Atco .

Calm Down There Slick.

You going this sunday for S/SS Race. $1.00 bets on R.T.'s

That's fine if you don't want one. But I'm sure plenty of racers around here do. Everytime there is a national around , it fills up fast. Don't you think it would a success? BTW you have a right to your opinion, but do you race? I Figure with your comment about Beards race, you may not
