While some of my D3 friends will disagree , it never made any sense to move the Jeg's Sportsnationals race from it's Fall date to Memorial Day Weekend directly opposite the long standing D1 Maple Grove LODRS event .
By doing so ,it effectively removed a National event from the D1 racers schedule and also an out of Division LODRS race for the D3 racers.
As far as changing the location back to Columbus , It may not have the charm and amenities of Bowling Green , it looks to be a more central location for both Northeast and Central Division racers.

I for one am glad to see the National Open return to Bowling Green after being gone for 3 years.

So my vote is yes, a good idea.

I wonder if the picture of the Jegs SG car in the photo was at the starting line or the finish line. Some of you will get it and some won't. But it's still a funny question.

Yes ,I sure remember it . ...Went many times.
my thoughts are based on the idea that the Jegs Sportsnational races are somewhat of a Regional event, and one that any Class or Sportsman racer looked forward to running , and the move of the race several years ago excluded a large group of racers.

You see I am kind of a HISTORY buff and the move to Columbus will exclude a large group of D 2 and D 4 racers.....
