It's just my interpretation, but I think the name of the series speaks more to the nationality of the participants than to the location of the tracks. One of the features intrinsic to any of the regional programs is convenience for the majority of the competitors. If tracks in the US are to be considered as potential venues they need to be within an acceptable radius for the points members who, in recent years, have been residents of Ontario. CanAm events have been held at Milan and DTR(Lancaster), both close to the border.

Upstate NY and Michigan racers have supported the series over the years....and taken a few bucks home with them, I might add. The most daunting challenge facing the committee is to plot a schedule that minimizes conflicts with NHRA/IHRA events. Unfortunately, the cake doesn't always come with a fork.
