The Nationals didn't go quite as planned but I qualified fastest out of 61 cars.  Spun in my heat and got hit and wrecked the RF suspension.   In the feature I started 5th and couldn't get much done on top or bottom then got punted, spun in the air and managed to recover but was last.   Worked back up to 7th at the end and the car has almost no damaged despite being spun in front of a pack of cars.  The track was black and slick, where I come from it was horrible, but maybe the southern boys like that kind of thing.  Hopefully next year they find a track that is ready to host a national event.

Brockhouse punted one of the locals (Comer, I think?), but being a dealer, they didnt put him to the rear as they said all weekend they would.
Grant was 4th.
I was one of the 4 drivers that they erased the qualifying for, so I qualified 2 tenths slower on the sloppy wet track Saturday and started 11th. Vern got punted and I nailed him hard.
Perfect ending to the crap season I had.
I don't know who to pin the blame on for the most ineptly run show I have ever seen, so I won't comment on that.

I will say that Jeff having to sit on the back of a  4 wheeler holding onto his car with a quick jack to get it off the track after wrecking in the heat sums up the way things were prepared and handled all weekend

That reminds me, I thought that if you won nationals, you had to move up a division? At least theat what Darrel Krentz told me.
Jason Rayle won last year in Semi-pro too.

Welcome to racing with Brockhouse, this might sound mean but he is the most arogant prick I've ever met.  He drives rough and isnt afraid of moving people.  Glad he isnt my dealer or I would tell him where to go.

Not sure what the policy is on people moving up to Pro after winning nationals, but Jason only ran a couple of legends races this year so that may have played into it.

Dave Comer is a good guy and has done a lot to promote legends racing in this area so it is a shame to see that he got knocked out of the way for the win.

Hopefully at least someone enjoyed racing at Springfield.

The track surface itself was great Thursday and Friday, and was good for the  first races Saturday, just really slicked off at the end.
The track surface itself was the highlight of the weekend, other than getting to meet Scott, Vern (off the track, didnt like meeting him on it), and some others Ive spoken with or sold parts to. Its always fun to put names with faces after a couple of years.

It would have been nice to race before the sportmods used up the track.  I think I could have won it then but by the time we raced the top was gone and I wasnt setup for dryslick.

Darrel Krentz  told me earlier this year that the criteria were:
A) 5 or more division wins
B) 1 overall A Main win
C) Winning Nationals
...and then you move up a class.
Thats why Brandon Schmitt went from Young Lions to Pro this year, he won the Young Lions Nationals last year.
Jason should not have been running semi-pro. Not that it mattered in the outcome of my weekend at all. Jeff only ran one race this year, I dont think he should have been able to be back in semi-pro, or Eric Barth.
Just an observation, not trying to start anything. They (INEX) obviously don't pay too close of attention on the dirt side of things.

Comer was definately the one to beat out there, if raced clean, he would have won it. The "crowd" was not too pleased
