I think part of the success of the original event was the fairly centralized location it was held. You move it too far east or too far south and you eliminate a good number of cars. One problem with our country is it's vast size.
I used Cordova as a base and you could draw racers from as far west as Denver 850 miles, south as dallas 880, or Atlanta 800, east York pa is 820 Rochester is 750. That is a really broad section of the country that is within a 1000 miles. You could use Earlville or Byron and those figures wouldn't change much as they are pretty close together.
Before anyone thinks well I'm just wanting it closer to me. Well I guess you'd be right. But everyone wants that. Besides Cordova is almost 700 miles for me. Most would still be closer then me. I hope it can be pulled off as I had a good time at the first. Just hope it doesn't turn into a division one or three only race do to location. Because we do have cars out in this part of the world they just don't race all over all the time. We had over 50 cars at our S/SS combos in little Marion SD.
