With what was confirmed this year with attendance and participation at the Inaugural "New England Nationals", and the updates that Shareholders have and continue to make, Smart Marketing for both the NHRA & Jeg's would be to host a D1 Sports Nationals event at New England Dragway

Great news Dave....for me Atco is one of the best tracks around.....love hearing the new owners are making improvements...good for the sport !!!

The major problem is we already have a SportsNationals in our side of the country (Columbus).
I know a few D1 racers venture out to this race every year, but this race could be even better attended by D1 racers.
The track and facilities is as nice as it has been ever, an the traction the last two years has been hard to beat.
I also believe with the upcoming ClassNationals race that Michael Beard is putting on next year will bring even more attention to this track.
If you haven't been there in years, give it a try again.

ps... I would welcome any additional Sportsnationals, but just don't see it happening.

Leave the Dutch as an Open and give Wallys for class instead of plaques.

Went down to Atco last night to take the stop off the car and open it up one last time and figured I'd take a couple of shots of the new pits at Atco. The one side where the motocross guys used to pit are basically done and the other side is being worked on. Not sure if they are going to heat up the steam roller and compress some of the millings together to make an asphalt base but, it looks pretty good and better then the sand.

Don't ruin the Dutch by making it a Sportsnational, this is a fun race, great place to set records, class eliminations and all the other enjoyable things about it. You add national points and qualified fields this will make this race a big deal not the last fun hurrah of the year that it is now.
LEAVE IT ALONE, when the weather is nice, it's the best race of the season.
