Todd Hoven

The Dutch is not that fantastic of a race anymore. There is to much crammed into to short of a time. You have to be there on Friday, and run first round on Saturday. I guess class is on Friday for stock, racing for plaques. Finishing that is hit or miss year to year. The attendance is down quite a bit from previous years. The last time i ran the Dutch I had to be there on Monday to finish the race.

Its national event time, run like a divisional, for open money. Tough to get revved up for that race anymore. Years ago it was good. No Top Sportsman or Dragster. No class. record runs on Friday and Saturday. You could get some runs in without having to take days off. First round on Sunday morning. A very layed back race to end the year.

Making it a National even would be fun and good money to win. Wally's for class, National points on the line. You don't have to pre register. That is the way I see it. Gives everybody a chance to get in a national, or run for one last Wally. Plus if you have had a great year, you have a chance to earn National event points without going West until you need to. We could draw a full field or more in stock. Just my .02
