I'd like to see them move the World Finals to Memphis next year. A more central location (and an end of year schedule for those who can't/won't race when it's hot) would be great for Tournament of Champions qualifiers from other parts of the country. Would be a great spot for a Bracket Finals, too.
Remember how HOT it was at Byron, Ill. during the US Class Nationals ? It sure didnt hurt the car count there as I teched in everyone of them.......LOL. I have heard the same about Florida in the summer. After being here for a season the weather wasnt as bad as most say. I sure beats the heck out of snow and ice with freezing temps all winter long !
