				I'm looking for a list of tracks that you could or do regularly run and a list of tracks that you might consider traveling to (stuff that is "just close enough" that you'd go run there). I'm not looking for track comments (unless it is horrible, the surface is trashed, etc), just a list of where our members go to race, drive, HPDE, etc. Where do you guys go to play? Post your tracks. |

				Just as I suspected, we're quite spread out (and then theres Roy....). I was trying to find a track that showed up often on the list (common track?). The motive behind this was the thought of an FRRAX.com "track day" or something similar in the spring. We are getting enough members to consider renting a track for a day or an afternoon for a reasonable price (if enough people can make it). I thought it might be fun to do an HPDE type day or something similar (set up an autocross in the parking lot? or run it solo 1 style if anyone wanted to compete). If I can/could cross reference a track that many people would attend and that could be rented for a reasonable price (my mother in law works at Summmit Point, I may have a connection there), it could happen.  So, I was looking for something within towing distance for most of our members. A large portion of our members? Something like that. Granted, there are many people who didn't respond (470+ members, and 15 answers). I'm not sure it's possible, but I'm not sure that it isn't. Keep the track info coming (I'll start a seperate thread with a poll of tracks in the future). Or, eventually (probably not the first year, if it happens at all) consider an "east coast/west coast" format, do 2 events. Since I doubt that Randy or Julie will tow to IRP in Indiana or Nelson Ledges, etc. But, maybe one in Arizona and Virginia (for example)? or something. It is still in the infant stages of being an interesting idea. Right now I'm just thinking out loud. And it may not prove to be practical. As I said, a seperate thread on that (then a poll as a 3rd thread???). So, how far would you go? Part II http://frrax.com/rrforum/index.php?act=ST&...&f=1&t=2437&hl= |
