National part starts at the 2:00 mark
While I hardly agree with SPR, it will be interesting to see how the National is this year. Is morale low? I tend to think after the big uptick in the last few years, people are taking a pause. I also think there is general malaise in the hobby right now. And of course, prices on the hood stuff at the National will be sky high.
