going by how many people are there every year for the event, many people have no problem with that but i wasn’t talking about the spectator stand point, i was talking from the business standpoint. all of them make a ton of money that weekend, its after summer is “over” so theres no way they would make the money they do that weekend without nationals there.
my own personal opinion, the fact that the town is taken over is why i love the event. i couldn’t tell you the last time i actually went in the show portion. i just walk around the village looking at the cars parked around there. make my way up to valero when i feel like it and watch burnouts. i know i’m gonna be stuck in traffic and i’m gonna be parked on one of the last side street off of town, but neither one bothers me. i don’t have anything cool to cruise around in, and even when i did i didn’t because it was an import and its a muscle show (that will change when i have an import with muscle power).
tl;dr, imo you can not move nationals and have it be the same. it will suck.
