Did you post this in the Southeast regional subforum? If any region can pull it off outside of CA you guys should be able to (and maybe Texas too)...it seems that there are an ass-ton of twins in Florida

@Lonewolf yes I did, and in various FB groups. And while I thought the same thing about the amount of twins in FL, a large portion of them just seem interested in the community aspect more than the sport.

Haha, exactly! I haven't been showing up at meets forever and honestly don't like to show up at the ones I know are filled with people that like to make noise.

Don't stray too far from the intent of this thread/post. And certainly you can turn some of the community into track-goers even if it's for a free ride, support/camaraderie, or just showing them how mods do perform. Don't discourage anybody but rather invite everyone. It'll filter on it's own

Its an intimidating proposition for most people, even car nuts who have never experienced a HPDE. Concerns range from wrecking or breaking the car to being embarrassed while learning to drive on a race track. If people only knew how much fun they would have and how great the social scene actually is, then I think many more would give it a try.
It may be hard to find enough solo level drivers to field the events without possibly starting with a couple instructed events to build the bench.
