T&A Racing Posted October 9, 2013 Share Posted October 9, 2013 I think the more relevant issue is how far it is from most racers. I guess we could say LA or something. It would be interesting to see the geographical center of the NASA community. Any one seen that or have acess to all racers city and state or zip code, not that actual address. Think it is pretty easy map to calculate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think it is pretty easy map to calculate. With 7 regions East of the Mississippi, and the other 11 regions west of that, it's fairly obvious that the center's going to be east of the Mississippi. So an east coast track would more than likely be more "attended" than a west coast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grizlbits Posted October 9, 2013 Share Posted October 9, 2013 http://www.mapofusa.net/us-population-map.gif Guess where the population is? A few pockets in California; but really, it's no contest. East of the Mississippi is where the population is. That is not a direct relationship with racers; but it can't be too far off..... People that want to win will go wherever it is. The rest will go if convenient. Making is convenient for more people would suggest somewhere east of the Mississippi. Or make it a "Must goto track", like COTA, Daytona, Indianapolis F1 track, etc. that will get people off the fence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I find it funny that 2 of those tracks are rovals and COTA was only recently opened. PS - I have nothing against rovals. I LOVED Phoenix International Raceway when we ran it. It was a 100% pucker-up-and-go-flat-out in a slow car like mine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
circuitmstr Posted October 9, 2013 Share Posted October 9, 2013 Daytona would be horrible for PT/TT. Lower hp cars like mine would have no hope at all. And Daytona is only 45 minutes from me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always wondered why Indy wasn't a popular consideration... again, that is a track that is heavily biased towards high hp cars. Would suck for the cars that are running lowhp/low weight configuration. No chance for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kbrew8991 Posted October 17, 2013 Share Posted October 17, 2013 saw something that the annoucement will probably be before/at SEMA, not PRI. Sooo not too much longer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Will F. Posted October 17, 2013 Members Share Posted October 17, 2013 That's right everybody. We're making the announcement the week of SEMA this year. Although it's always previously been announced in September, plans for '14 have taken a little longer than previous years. So hang tight, we're working very hard to give you all the best event possible! Thanks guys! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Will F. Posted October 17, 2013 Members Share Posted October 17, 2013 No, we do not have a booth at SEMA. Ryan, Jeremy, and myself will be attendance for most of the week though. We will have a booth at PRI in December. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Will F. Posted October 17, 2013 Members Share Posted October 17, 2013 Also, FWIW, the announcement will be pushed out electronically mainly through our website, email blasts and social media. It's not like there's going to be a big presentation at a SEMA booth. We don't charge you guys enough to put on a presentation like that! Mainly a coincidence that our timeline falls into place with the week of SEMA. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
