The Dutch was moved up a week this year from the past few years. The Keystones are Oct 4th to 7th next year so they can't move it up any more.

Looks like the some of the Lucas Racing Divisional schedule for 2012 is ready and it confirms what people having been saying about VMP.

This is what NHRA is calling the "East" regional for Alcohol Racers.

Feb. 17-19 Gainesville Raceway Gainesville, Fla.
April 20-21 Virginia Motorsports Park Dinwiddie, Va.
May 25-27 Maple Grove Raceway Mohnton, Pa.
June 22-24 Lebanon Valley Dragway West Lebanon, N.Y.
July 20-22 New England Dragway Epping, N.H.
Aug. 17-19 Cecil County Dragway Rising Sun, Md.

Hopefully IHRA was pleased with the turn-out at VMP and will do the Sportsman Race next year at MIR.

Not for nothing but, moving the Sportsman Spec to Memphis is a smart move. Even if it's the same weekend as the Dutch not to sure how many people are going to make the trip to Tennessee from up in the Northeast Region. Having it closer to a central location really helps out the guys with traveling from out in the Utah, Arizona areas that may hit for a "win and your In" deal and be like I'm not driving to Virginia. No doubt Royce and the boys at MIR are going to have one in the middle of the year for the guys up in the Northeast...date TBA.
