Don't forget there is a good chance the Indy pts meet will be the week of July 3-5 like it has been the last 3 years. So that would mean a min of 4 hot ***** weeks of racing in a row maybe 5 depending on when the Joliet pts fits into the schedule. Great schedule, everyone loves racing when its 90 plus degrees and 90 plus humidity.

Thank god they now have mechanical rain delays(AF/AD) at the Sportsnats now. That event was almost to smooth it needed to be screwed with. can't wait to see how many fans those two category bring in.

Why not just sit out the summer months?

Its a double.New LODRS schedule say Columbus LODRS is on 7/16 17 2020, then Sportnationals to follow. Will get a few more cars doing it that way I think.

It's a lot of racing, but I think it's a great plan to do both in one weekend, hopefully there will be a reduction in qualifying passes to make sure both races can be squeezed in. Overall I think the D3 schedule is really good for next year, spread out pretty well. Yeah, it's going to be hot as hell, but that's a lot better than what we got at the divisional this year.

I for one would like to see a round of Stock done before Sunday .With the Alcohol cars there it is going to be tuff getting all eliminations done in one day for the Sportnationals race.

Upon further review, I like this .....Still not sure a National event can be completed in 2 days though ?? ....One tow, 2 grade points, a points meet and National event....it was exciting to see 400 pizzas spread on the tables....
