Re: Sportsnats move - good idea or ?
Yes ,I sure remember it . ...Went many times.
my thoughts are based on the idea that the Jegs Sportsnational races are somewhat of a Regional event, and one that any Class or Sportsman racer looked forward to running , and the move of the race several years ago excluded a large group of racers.

Re: Sportsnats move - good idea or ?
The race moved to Columbus because of JEGS. No problem with that. To say that this is a better location due to travel distances is a bit short-sighted for the D4, D5, D6 and D7 racers. The best thing was when there were (3) Sportsnationals located around the country.

Save that ticket, bud. Probably never be worth much but that ticket # makes that thing pretty neat. I'd be embarrassed to post how much I paid a few years back for an opening day ticket to the Astrodome.('65) |

34 years later almost to the day on (May 25th 2013) I made my first 2 NHRA Stock Eliminator passes ( and set the Q/SA record that day) at the same event and place

Re: Sportsnats move - good idea or ?
Being about 2 hours north of NTR, I love it! That puts 2 big events in my back yard. I'm probably the minority but I welcome the change. I know the facility isn't a BG but we have entered the off season and there is about 9 months to make upgrades and renovate. There was a completely new surface laid there in 2017. I'm sorry but showers and concessions don't delegate my race schedule. I have never had an issue with anyone there at anytime.
