Division 1 schedule

[Tom Goldman]

Once again they made it nearly impossible for anyone but a touring pro to get eight races in without traveling all over the country.
Absolutly no races in June in D1 , and then schedule the Epping race ontop of the Columbus race!
I guess they think no one in D1 goes to Columbus!

Look at the dates. YOu have Maple Grove at the end of May and the weekend after that is Englishtown national event. Then there are three weeks off, and then Lebanon Valley.

A few weeks ago, people were complaining about the time off in July. Now there is a race at the end of July. People were complaining about the Atco race in October. Now there is no Atco race in October.

Yeah that is definitely a shame - it closes out the option of squeezing an out of division race for D1 & D3 racers......
Other than that though I actually like the D1 schedule. More races in the warmer weather equates to less potential weather problems and more opportunity for rescheduling if it should be necessary.

What I don't understand is why D1 does not have a Jegs Sportsnational race.

Angelo,

I have asked the same question or just make the Dutch a Sportsnational event. It usually draws a decent amount of cars and has everything except TAFC & TAD. Make it a sportsnational for the D-1 guys since we only have 2 Nationals until 2012 when Epping joins the mix of National Events.

Call the DUTCH anything but just keep it with sportsman cars only WITHOUT the Alcohol cars and the CIRCUS acts.

I agree 100%, The Dutch is an excellent race the way it is. Sportsnationals would be great in the fall when it is cool but don't bring in the leakers.

No I think they have runied the Dutch.
You have to spend the time that it takes to run a national event

You pay almost what it cost to run a divisional race.

It's nothing more than an open. With Open payout.

I liked the format years ago, plenty of runs on Friday, Record runs. Saturday you could still get 2 timeshots, and try to set records. Everybody races on Sunday. You didn't have to take off Friday to race it. Let it be a National event or return back to the way it used to be run. With out all the BS. Just my .02
