National Open at Island

Paul Precht · 01-21-2018, 02:12 AM

Would there be good support if Island had an open in late Oct, would it hurt The Dutch. They had one back in the early 2,000s but everyone's plate was already full. This could be a second chance at records and take some of the burden off the NYC area racers needing a grade point. Island will be stepping up their game this year so they'll probably be more prepared than ever before.

No good. No support. Will not happen. Numidia. Better chance

Or .. for consideration, make Lebanon Valley divisional a double, its the weekend before the 4th, and the next weekend is Epping National...lots of people take the week of the 4th for vacation anyways..... and another issue...with the loss of the Englishtown national, Stock and SS racers lose the opportunity to run class eliminations.... could be worse, if things don't change, the Div 1 Comp Elim guys have the Keystones and thats it without traveling....

Not for nothing, why would we need another Open in D1? We already have 5 and the two mainly contested ones (Atco & Maple Grove) get good counts for Stock / SS but, the rest of the classes are subpar. The opens just don't have that "luster" they used to have.

Maybe so S/SS can run them flat out without getting horsepower.Also run Class at National open.
