I have a lot of laps at COTA, but most of them have been in the "Beandito" endurance racer TR6, and even more on a bicycle. The venue is great, but not very vintage in aesthetics. If the FOT would want to make a go of it in Texas once again we would be happy to host. I am sure we could put on a good show even though we have had some attrition in the ranks of our Texas based FOT. COTA is a choice for sure but both Hallett and especially Eagles Canyon have had significant upgrades.

We have also had a number of racing retiree's that sold off cars and others that moved on to other series and/or cars. We will not be able to count on double digits participation from locals if you all want to come to Texas. Having help run 2 K-Cups with low participation numbers I would rather see the event held closer to places that more cars can get to in a reasonable tow. </div><div><br></div><div><div><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_signature" data-smartmail="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr">Bob Kramer</div></div></div><br></div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Mon, Feb 3, 2020 at 1:58 PM Walt Hollowell via Fot <<a href="mailto:fot@autox.team.net">fot@autox.team.net</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div dir="auto"><div dir="auto">I plan on racing at COTA this November.

If I actually get Killer back together this year and am in a position to<br>
get a competition license from some sanctioning body, I would like the<br>
2021 cup to be within a reasonable towing distance from Salt lake City.<br>
