Could be perfect.......as long as they don't have the Dutch Classic that same weekend....

The MG national event is the weekend before.

I've never had the pleasure of being there, but heard reports from friends. They said to bad more tracks are not the same as Beech Bend. The racers are treated very nicely and the facility was top notch. Great place for a family to go racing at. Everyone wins.

Just my .02 cents, whatever that is worth. Thanks for listening.

I'm excited, mainly because I live in Columbus. Its been sad to see my home track decline over the years, but hopefully the new co-owner and GM will be able to shake it up a bit.

Its encouraging that they are getting a bigger race back. Let's hope they can do it justice.

From my understanding from quite a few racers this past year at the sports in bowling green traction was a BIG problem!! I raced at Columbus divisional this year and the track was great!

Confirmed with the Division 3 office this morning the NHRA SportsNATIONAL OPEN will return to Beech Bend on Memorial Day weekend in 2019!

We were very fortunate to host the JEGS SportsNationals for 3 years and enjoyed our moment in the spotlight of once again hosting a NHRA National event and wish them luck in Columbus!

But we are also excited about the National Open returning and currently dreaming up something special for the Super Stock/Stock crowd for Saturday night!

If you have a traction problem at BG, your car has a problem.

I hate that the Sports is changing locations but i suspect it is more a Jegs deal than anything else. I'm a lot closer to BG than NT but that will not stop me from participating next year. I'm glad there will be a quality race in September for sportsmen cars. No doubt BG is a better facility and NT needs to up-grade their restrooms but in the end it's a drag race. If the track is good and we can race and have an enjoyable week end, lets do it. I'm old(70) and don't want to argue about a decision I can't change. It's done and I plan on going because I like that race more than Indy. Hope to see all my racing friends there. Larry Wilson SS 3058
