I think what Tony is trying to do is bring it closer to the people who actually showed up and hopes more from those areas will show up if it is even closer than before. Since no west coasters showed, it appears more East coasters are shooting for the events...at least from what I gather. I live in south Florida...nothing is close to me. Hell, I think it should be held at PBIR in Palm Beach Florida, it's a brand new track too. But that will pretty much eliminate 3/4 of the country :-p Anyway, I agree about Maryland as one...looked very nice and track prep seemed pretty good from what I saw. Also Virginia has a good, decent prepped track as well.

I don't see anyone from Texas or Illinios (The top attendee's) traveling to the east coast [Maryland/Virginia/Jersey]to attend the shootout .It should stay centralized til more support is shown for the race by BEING THERE not just saying you'd come.JMO

I would love to attend a 3rd, 4th, 5th event. I think we should keep it central as well to the people who have showed support.
There are to many excuses about cars not ready.. getting cracking earlier.
There are too many excuses about not being able to get off work.. give some notice and take some time off.
no money...**** most of us are broke, but you live once and need to enjoy life
I had a great time for the 2nd year and we had 6 cars this time around. We will be glad to represent again, but there is more support needed. I know you guys are all out there, so start saving, wrenching and planning to make it no matter what date it is.

I hear the West coast guys saying they want it closer to Cali, well I hate to break it to you, but after moving to the west from the east, I can see why there is no reason to have it move westward. I see about 1/8 of the LTX cars out here and maybe a 1/4 4th Gens overall compared to the Eastern side, not to mention no Goats, and few Vettes. It has always seemed to me like the closer you got to Detroit the more muscle there is. Michigan and Ohio are packed full of LTX and LSX cars. Texas area is a big one too and I'd be dumb not to mention the southern boys. Motorsports just dont seem like as big of a deal out here. The tracks here suck, are at 4500ft, and people are more worried about how far they can get the wheels outside the fenders than has fast it goes. Plus, I went to the John Deere parts counter the other day and starting asking about truck/tractor pulls in the state and the guy goes "Whats a tractor pull?!"
Now, unfortunately I live toward the West coast, but even though it would be against my best interest I say move it more eastward. Try to get it somewhere where hotels are plentiful and reasonably priced. Also having a place alternative attractions for the family would probably encourage some folks to make the trip.
Most people are just lazy when it comes to getting days off, but I seriously have no say -Uncle Sam- has the final word and the last year he said no.
Dallas wouldnt be bad...

Not to make another "In my backyard" post, but has anybody thought of ORP in Indianapolis? Its fairly central for most guys. Close for the Chicago guys, but not on the other side of the US for the Texas guys. Nice track with a long shutdown for the really fast guys (longer than I'm used to anyways). If nothing else, just get a map of the US, and pick the center out, and a 100 mile radius and pick a track. Just a thought.
