    NHM...what? Now this sounds like a fun event! Still have yet to run the short course and looking forward to that.

    Can either event make money like this? What was the motivation to add a date the same weekend as one of the most popular regionals?

    Andy, No black helicopters in site. The date became available from WGI. So BOD decided to take it. I hope both regions do ok. With travel costs involved my guess would be neither event will detract from each other. I guess if we could look at last years entry at NH and see if entrys came from this direction that might be a better gauge of loss on entries. Just my thoughts. TW

    Both events have great formats. Triple at NHMS and the two configs at WGI. Too bad they are on the same weekend.

    There are at least 2 of us coming to the WGi weekend from Central Ohio. Never been to this track and looking forward to having a great weekend! The holiday weekend makes this an easy trip for me. Can't wait! Just need to get the car together.
