Great move by Dave and crew in D-1. Real pretty area. Views of the hills etc. Greatly enjoyed the two combo in the hills events there a few years back. Thanks Michael, Lee and Brian for putting them on, now I have a excuse to go back.

So where will the Summer Nationals be held? Another national event at MG or can Virginia get ready to host?

From what I've heard that D1 & NHRA are working very hard at putting together another National Event to replace the Summers for this year. I don't know if you'll see something this year because I think like all of us the E-town closing caught everyone with their pants down including NHRA and now you have to take a storied event and try to market the heck out of it in 4 months and bring the facility up to par. I know Virginia is getting a whole new surface put in and they started yesterday with the milling and paving. I think Tommy & Judy Franklin who bought the place will have it back up to a top notch facility cause everything they have is beautiful and I think they bought another track also down south.

I have been seeing on Facebook that people are complaining about the Numidia race being on top of the Bristol National Event. What I'm confused about is the E-town D1 race was scheduled on top of Bristol since they announced the schedule in November and not a peep from anyone about it, now Dave & Crew fight to get everyone a 7th race to make up for E-town and get Numidia and everyone is like "What the heck were they thinking" "Why couldn't it be at another date". I think we all just need to be glad that Dave & The DiMino Family put together a race for everyone to run at so we don't have to travel out of Division for 2 races. Another thing is Bristol is ONLY taking 55 cars per class, so 2/3rd will be D2 cars and not all the D1 invaders will get in. So THANK YOU Dave M. & Bob, Vinny, Rob Dimino for stepping up to the plate.

You are right Rob, historically most entries at Bristol are from D2 and D3 in Stock and SS atleast. I don't see much to complain about there. I would love to see a National back at Dinwiddie, its not the market of Etown obviously but I would hate for that event to be moved out west somewhere.
