    There are at least 2 of us coming to the WGi weekend from Central Ohio. Never been to this track and looking forward to having a great weekend! The holiday weekend makes this an easy trip for me. Can't wait! Just need to get the car together.

    and a NASA event at NJMP that may (no pun intended) also include an enduro...

    And IMG at LRP on Monday.

    Around here (Ohio), if a track weekend becomes available - we pick it up. Weekends don't come available often - so when they do we take advantage and pick it up. If we (SCCA) don't take it - another group will.

    And we get that for sure. But imagine you had a super popular regional AND a National on the same weekend, than another regional pops up.

    *I* personally don't care because since this is a MARRS event, I am sure it will be well attended because they are drawing from a pool typically not taken from, but what we as drivers hate to have to answer is the 'where is everyone' question when it's obvious that there are so many races that the available pool is diluted.

    Having said that, this years NARRC schedule has receive RAVE reviews. Great tracks at about 1 race per month. It's perfect for most people I have talked to.
