[Mr.]

Hey, could you guys please post some pix of the places. You guys are talking about in Jersey and NY? How is hotels in NY? is it still an arm and or leg? and does your roads still suck? Sorry, not trashing NY. But, that is any city

Virginia has VIR, and it's close to plenty of good driving roads, Blue Ridge Parkway, etc.

Much the same for North Carolina, VIR is literally just across the border, plus Charlotte/Concord/Mooresville (aka Race City USA) is about 2 hours from VIR, and home to over 60 race teams (NASCAR, ALMS, NHRA, and more), plus many race parts companies have branches here, (Brembo, Hotchkis East, CV Products, and more). Tail of the Dragon, Devil's Whip, Diamondback, and other roads are a couple hour west. Charlotte Motor Speedway, Kershaw race track is just across the border in SC

Cruise through NYC, car show,road coarse, drag at raceway park e town... BAM

[meeskee2]

Could always have the event in Ocean City, MD. Thats where they have the big H2o International VW show.

Just another idea. Although I'm not sure where to setup autocross event.

EDIT: But they do have a small Casino! lol and its a big vacation stop...beaches, boardwalk with rides, go-karts etc.

We have some states wanna do the event in. Here are the lists
Georgia, North Carolina, Virginia, New Jersey, & Tennessee.

@ichitaka05 maybe create a poll.


to me it wouldn't feel as special since it would be in my backyard, but there are some good reasons to have it in NJ.

the VIR and ATL locations sound the best to me.


VIR:

ATL:

Lots of hotels of all price ranges, cheap flights from most of the country. Downside, summer can be hot but so can all other places listed.

Reason why I'm not putting the vote is, post ppl just vote & don't say the reason. Most do... but good amount don't.

1. Track day at the NJMP

2. Subaru HQ is in NJ

3. The Wildwood boardwalk I believe is one of the largest boardwalks on the east coast and is very well known for its annual car shows on the boardwalk.

4.

+1 for NJ.

NJMP also has outdoor karting.

We also have a huge smoothly paved lot for autox at MetLife Stadium in the Meadowlands. SCCA uses it to host their Pro Solo events.

Others have said but I will add my $0.02.

Pros:
Ease of access: Interstates converge here. You can fly here non-stop from just about anywhere in the US.

Accommodations: Many hotels of varying costs.
Night life: just about anything you want.

Atlanta motor sport park, road Atlanta, many really fun mountain roads, not just the dragon.

Cons:

Traffic: it can be abysmal even on weekends in the city.
Distance: it can be a bit far for the North Easterners.
The mountains are about an hours drive from central Atlanta. More if the traffic is bad.

UPDATE

Looking into all the SCCA region of all 5 states.

If you guys know who I need to contact (other than in general email), please PM me &/or other group who do autox/track (prefer someone who's organizer or president of that region) please PM me also

Thanks

Amp would be cool! No sanctioned races to have to work around, and make it easier to schedule!
