Really, Jim, to be fair, we don't see too many Division 1 cars at Reynolds anyway, outside of a few guys chasing points. Atco and Reynolds are far enough apart that it isn't a big deal. It'd actually be nice if Reynolds was a week later in October than it is now.

As nerve racking as their scheduling is, I really can't fault NHRA and especially Division 1 for choosing that weekend to finish Atco.

Hopefully, with a little luck, our new Division 2 director will take the rest of the people into consideration when he does the Lucas schedule for next year, unlike the previous director, who appeared to schedule strictly according to his own needs and wants.

Wasn't much for options; Toyos, Atco makeup then the Dutch will make a busy month of October for the D1 staff and those running in all three events. Hopefully it won't hurt the car count at the Dutch.
