SportsNationals Div.1
 
This is a Great Idea.

But i would rather see this event being raced at Englishtown.

All Paved Pits. No Worries about getting stuck in the mud.

More than likely No Seepage issues.

I guess it would depend on the date naturally.

Thought of a possible date for this race.

Last weekend in Sept. right before the National Event at M.G.

Good point Joe, but there will be No Circus Cars there.

Do they run the Alcohol Cars @ Sportsnationals Races ??

If not it shouldn't be that bad. Curfew Wise.

I think it's only a matter of time before D1 gets a sportsnationals. I mean we do have the largest car count in any division. I'm all for it but, the one problem I've run into is not enough weekends in a year to fit races all in. The problem that we have that a lot of other divisions don't is that we have 7 divisionals, 4 opens and 3 Nationals but, when a lot of people are not running them you have ASRA, ECSSA, NESSA, MASGA, MASCA, MASSA going on on the off weekends. Dave Ley and I both beat our heads against the walls each year trying to find suitable dates for these events that are good for the racers plus now with IHRA coming back into the fold who knows what that will bring. MIR is a big draw for a lot of sportsman guys and girls and it's on top of the Bristol National this year. Like a few have said make the Dutch a Sportsnationals since it's turned into a National event anyways with 4 days of racing. The weekend before the MG National would be bad because the weekend before that is the D3 Columbus Sportsnationals and the week before MG has become a great Warm-Up Race at Atco for all the .90 Cars and Stk/SS cars.

sorry joe but I don't think atco is a good option, unless they update the place a little, the pits are a disaster, and the track has been very on and off the last few years. maybe re-pour a new launch pad without all the exposed stone than blisters the rubber, and try to do something about the dirt pits , I don't know if grass will even grow there, but anything to keep the dust down.

Plus as a wise man just pointed out to me, these tracks just don't get awarded a Sportsnationals they have to pay for it out of their pockets which could be somewhere around 50 grand. Not sure if some of the tracks around here would take the risk to throw out that type of money.

Maple Grove or Etown would be the spot. I'm thinking Etown is tough because of curfews. Replace the Dutch with a Sportsnationals race, the attendance would be big. Especally with it being the last national event to earn points on the east coast.

Dave, VMP will have a hard time with drawing racers with the location. The Grove would be the ideal spot. I hope it gets done soon.
