"a shiny new purpose built road course in an otherwise vacant area in the midwest region surely couldnt hurt."

The FACT is that we are not adding events; if anything, we are cutting them. If we pick up a few cars in the Ozark area and then divide the new total not by 6 but by 7, the average car count (already down) at each track will go down. That makes it more difficult for Regions to hold events. That hurts.

Here in Memphis we already have a tough time given our location in the extreme SE of the MiDiv. W/ this new track between us and the rest of the Division, many of the drivers who used to come here will do that one instead. I suspect that this new track is the death knell for us.
