Default National Open at Island

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.

Yea and Napierville only had 37 cars in combo for 10K,last year. ya all better support it or it will go away, Now if ya's look at the map it is a 6 hr drive from Atco, have a passport and leave your guns at home, 15 mins inside Canadian border. Just wonder what would happen if M/G was ever sold, everyone would have to drive then to a race,just saying.

Maple Grove is really the only Open that gets a decent car count in Stock / SS and since it's really the last "Hurrah" that's why you get those counts. You used to have Dave Ley's race at E-Town and Mike Car's race at Haggerstown but, you can't set records. Here was the past two years of car counts at Atco & MG. Plus Atco was a guaranteed $2,500 to win.Like Brian said, need to get out and support those events before they are gone

Atco 2017
Super Stk - 32
Stock - 70

Maple grove 2017
Super Stk - 84
Stock - 126

Atco 2016
Super Stk - 42
Stock - 75

Maple Grove
Super Stk - 83
Stock - 124
