I mean who In their right mind looks at Dallas and says yea that a good place for the Allstar race. Even most people/racers in D4 hate that DUMP in Dallas. The pits are terrible, and it will rain at some point, so it’s doomed from the get-go. I’m not even going to go into the terrible logistics for 85% of the people who are lucky to be the rep for there class and division. Extra travel days to and from and the added fuel costs. The only part of this that makes any sense at all is its in Oct and all the points meets but Vegas are completed
I mean its not that hard. I though about it for 5 mins and came up with ideas better than them.
Make St louis fall national event a 4 day race
Move it back to Chicago (maybe that's the plan for 2024)
Move it back to Columbus SPORTS NATIONALS. A sportsman show cased event (according to NHRA LOL)
Move it to Topeka. (But its to hot in July/Aug in Topeka. Get over it its hot from July- labor day everywhere)

I'm sure Keith or Austin can chime in on this as I know Keith has been to Chicago & Indy but, I don't think the travel money is much. Different divisions would be cool but, think the distance might be a little too much for some guys, Definity would be a bucket list for many, D6 going out to Epping or D1 going to Sonoma.
