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.
