You run S/ST. You're lucky they even let you through the gate!

Re: 2018 Sportsman Nationals
now the "Rest of the story"
I was helping parking (pouring rain again) and originally the whole asphalt parking was going to be T/D, T/S and major sponsored (Lucas, ect) cars and the Hemi shootout cars. I made a deal to give me the tree line to first come first serve as you know there is not 45 spots back there. This year it might be only TD=TS only for asphalt, I have no clue. Was glad to be able to give around 35 rigs places back there. MJ and a few others got lucky and parked over grandstands on those asphalt spots. BTW I parked myself and parents down by scoreboards in the grass area. |

Re: 2018 Sportsman Nationals
I have two question, is the Sportsnationals IHRA or NHRA, I believe from the schedule & the flyers that it is an NHRA event. Ok, if stock & super stock are the backbone of NHRA (like they tell us it is) then why are two IHRA originated classes getting the asphalt, inquiring minds want to know. I think if you took a poll first come first serve would be unanimous. MJ help me out here ..

I've heard many times that Sportsman racers are the backbone, but never heard it broken down further than that.

Re: 2018 Sportsman Nationals
There were 200 less racers at the 2017 Sportnationals than in 2016.If that trend continues we will all get asphalt parking soon.
