The problem with holding races in the center of the country, is that you move
the race farther away from the RACING population center. I know for a fact that
their are a ton of Triumphs on the East Coast. As far as I know, there are more
over here than the West Coast. Now I'm going say that the West Coast folks
should always have to make the long tow, but by having the race in the center
of the country; what you gain from the West Coast, I believe, will not make up
for the cars you would lose coming from the East Coast. Perhaps, both sides
should have their own events, and every three to five years hold a race in the
center of the country.

Subject: RE: [FOT] Road America/Kastner Cup Presentation/Bi-Coastal
Events
I would prefer to keep it in the geographical center of the country on a
consistent basis. This would give everyone in the country a chance to
work
it in their schedule every year. Some place like Heartland park... I've
just
recently heard of a track a little further south that, (except for an
occasional Oklahoma Sideways Thunderstorm), would be a great place to
hold
it every year.
As far as the Kasner Cup goes, the left coasters already have possession
and
I want another shot to bring it back to the East coast next year! I am
already making plans to replace the transmission and shed the 447 pound
disadvantage that I had this past weekend.
Tiger
FoT,
I'd like to think there is a lot of information following, contained in
the
fewest possible words.
Road America in May or September "could" be a possibility in 2008.
It is time we returned to Road America to fly the FoT Flag, methinks.
Please Note: The Kastner Cup will 'most likely' be presented in 2007 on
the
West Coast at an event designated & promoted by the West Coasters.
That does not mean that the East Coasters cannot identify and designate
a
venue on the East Coast for a major FoT Get Together for 2007.
With the great gobs of real estate we have in North America, efforts and
entries are not likely to be severely diluted by having a bi-coastal
event,
especially if we pay attention to timing of the events.
Since there are no rules, we are free to exercise common sense.
Regards,
Joe Alexander
