Nationals Location?

[IraceLegends77]

I heard on another site that the asphalt was going to be in Georgia any thoughts or guess on the dirt this year?
They said that they are going to tell us during the awards ceramony. That is the rumor anyway.

I figure it will be in or around Pennsylvania again this year.  I wish it would be somewhere around the midwest again - a little more centrally located.  I definitely enjoyed going to the Nationals the two years I went and hope to be able to go again someday.

I herd a birdie that said it might be at big diamond again ? I hope.......

Well, that would suck. I personally think it should be centrally located so more people could attend. If anything else, they should move it somewhere different every year. How many of the NV guys are going to tow to PA year after year, or the other way around? Sure, if the purse was kick-a$$, as a national championship event would normally indicate, I could see it, and maybe it is, never went, so I have no idea, just doesnt seem like the way to elevate car counts or call it a nationals event, by having it onone coast or the other...seems like if thats the ide, they should have regional championships. For once, maybe the SCCA is doing something right?
Just my .02

Yep! I heard that Lanier will be the place for the asphalt nationals for Legends.
Bandos at Atlanta.
Dirt Nats.... ??
Sorry! Don't have anything on that. 

This is just all hear say. Guess we'll just have to wait 'til they announce it.

Jim,

The problem was that the car count wasn't that good when they had in Missouri two years ago. They where looking to get the car count up and it worked. You are right though about the pay. If the put some cash up it wouldn't matter where they hold it.

Thats my point...didn't they have it in Missouri for a few years in a row? I think if you look at demographics, the 3 biggest dirt contingents are PA, the Dakotas, and Wisconsin, so move it from track to track in the western midwest, and I think there would be more interest.
I know I wouldnt trailer to PA for a race, maybe Im odd tho, as if we didnt already know that 

[IraceLegends77]

How big are your tracks UP there?

[VMS Motorsports]

Charter raceway is 1/3 mile, Chilton is 1/4 mile...those are our 2 main tracks

[IraceLegends77]

I think they would want a bigger track for the Nationals. Not knocking the small tracks but to start 26 to 30 cars on a 1/4 track you better start up front. Big Diamond was a 3/8 and was a perfect size and really smooth. The Masters race was one of the best races I have ever seen in a long time.

 We have a WoO show every year on the 1/4 mile at Charter...How 'bout Eldora? Tony's dad would love it. How about Kankakee?  I guess my point is there are alot of dirt tracks more centrally located to the core of dirt racers than having everyone drag 14 hours to Pennsylvania every year, or Missouri every year, or anywhere every year. Mixing it up would be good in my opinion

[IraceLegends77]

You have my vote for Eldora.......Now the would be one to tell the grandkids about one day.

Rumor has it there will be 2 Legends shows there this year...nothing on the schedule yet tho

Scott - I'm not sure I heard how many cars were at the nats this year, but I'm under the impression that car counts weren't much better this year.    The last 2 years in Missouri, I didn't think car counts were BAD, but I thought they would be much better than they were.  They definitely weren't as high as the asphalt nationals.

[Racinjj]

I think we had 70 something at the Dirt Nationals this year.  It was around 25 in each class.
