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

Todd,

You are 100% Right , everyone has forgot how good it was !!!!
There is way to much going on at the " New Dutch " and please don't tell me it's for the Fans !!! Let's go back to a 2 day Open , with no Oilers .... But it would be a great place for a Sports-National , as long as they can fix the water problem .... Last 3-4 races were nothing but hurry up and wait down-time .... Not Fun for anyone ,racers, tracks, & NHRA .... Hopefully, 2011 will be better racing for everyone & we won't continue to overload Races...

I don't think the Dutch would be so bad if we could run past 6pm every night there. It really not a bad race to go too and would make a great Sportsnationals for the D-1 Crew but, maybe move it up a few weeks. With the D-1 Schedule ending at E-Town in September then you have Concord, Columbus SN, Grove Nationals and then nothing for 3 weeks until the end of October for the Dutch unless you head west or go to Silver Dollar. I don't know I do like the Dutch, I do think it's a day too long and a little bit on the expensive side but, I'm grateful to just be racing in these times that we are in.
