Does anyone understand that
We racers just got a semi national event back to go racing
Can’t you folks see the positive about this
Not sorry that you folks have lost a race in your backyard
Bowling Green as a location and date doesn’t work for D1 racers
Now you folks will See Some Fast Cars Lol. You know More competition
Thanks Jegs for moving the race

Columbus seems a bit of a stretch now for the D2 and D4 racers. Nothing but good luck as they move it, but I doubt they see much southern participation.

Agreeing with Mr. Perrone...

Another look on the positive side......D3 gets another National Open?! and retains the National Event.

Jegs also has used the Columbus-located event to bring hundreds of Vocational High School Students to the races on Friday. Good PR for Jegs, and a way to maybe garner attention to what we do. One year it took me about 4 hours to adjust the valves on my car because so many students stopped by. For someone like me who spends half of my 80+ hour work-week teaching, it was pretty fun to teach these kids. Ty

I love Bowling Green, great people to race with and against and the facility is top notch. For people in the east its a 14+ hour ride on top of one of our largest attended points races in division 1 on a holiday weekend. That makes it tough to attend.

Since the demise of Etown we are very short on national events in the northeast. Having it moved back to Columbus gives the D1 racers another one and a chance to race for class. if they could only suspend the Afhs for that race, that would make it alot of fun Happy to have it back closer

Must be the Jeg's sales are better back east. It's 2000 miles from California to Bowling green and 2250 to Columbus Oh. More like the back east Sports Nationals.

Sorry not the way to look at it. Remember you west coast folks had a Sportnationals.
Seems like people crying now have to take a ride because it not in Kentucky anymore
I go to a racetrack to do these things
Race my car. Tune my car. Win with my car Hangout with the racing family
Showers amusement park and officials being nice to me. A bonus.
But again I bring my own shower fridge and dog wife tv food IPad
Columbus is where JEGs. Wants it. Perfect.

No one is "crying", and there's no need for the attitude. None. There's nothing to be gained by it.


Yeah, some people are not happy about it. I don't remember saying "screw you D1 guys" when it moved to Bowling Green.


Oh well. We don't NEED Jeg's down here, it was just nice. And if it's not where you want to be, we don't NEED anyone else down here. Nice to see you guys, and fun to race with you. But we ain't gonna die without you.
