rhapsodically about why the SCCA and the Nationals should move to Atlanta,
and said the reason was racing's popularity in the South. The South may be
the center of a certain spectator oriented portion of our sport, but
autocrossing (and the SCCA) is not about watching, its about participating.

should be moved around to give more people the chance to particpate. Sure,
have it in Atlanta one year- but then, have it in Denver or someplace west.
This would undoubtedly be more work to coordinate, but that's why the SCCA
has a national staff, isn't it?
