Hope NHRA can figure a way to get more seats filled. Spectator participation at this years Sports was disheartening.

AMEN! We had six kids in our group this year and they had a blast and we spun in the final. I was on the fence with my junk and this makes next years decision that much easier. Phish

GREAT RACE anyone? New project will need drivers

I've never had the pleasure of being there, but heard reports from friends. They said to bad more tracks are not the same as Beech Bend. The racers are treated very nicely and the facility was top notch. Great place for a family to go racing at. Everyone wins.

Just my .02 cents, whatever that is worth. Thanks for listening.

I'm excited, mainly because I live in Columbus. Its been sad to see my home track decline over the years, but hopefully the new co-owner and GM will be able to shake it up a bit.

Its encouraging that they are getting a bigger race back. Let's hope they can do it justice.

From my understanding from quite a few racers this past year at the sports in bowling green traction was a BIG problem!! I raced at Columbus divisional this year and the track was great!

Confirmed with the Division 3 office this morning the NHRA SportsNATIONAL OPEN will return to Beech Bend on Memorial Day weekend in 2019!

We were very fortunate to host the JEGS SportsNationals for 3 years and enjoyed our moment in the spotlight of once again hosting a NHRA National event and wish them luck in Columbus!

But we are also excited about the National Open returning and currently dreaming up something special for the Super Stock/Stock crowd for Saturday night!
