Not Ranked
Although not opposed to traveling, I have no way of getting my car anywhere. I drove it to Gateway, then drove it on the track. For me, Gateway is good, but I could see some getting bored with the track and area. If it moves, and I'm involved with the event, it will be without my car, until I can find a trailer I guess. The other thing about St. Louis, it IS mid america. Mid america isn't in Iowa, Wisconsin, or Indiana. Missouri is halfway, St Louis is east of halfway. Maybe the East/West Coast drivers would attend, but isn't it good enough to attract the midwest drivers?
What about Putnam in Indy? I am not familiar with any other tracks, and can only speak to my experience here. I know there has been negotiations falling on deaf ears here, so, moving to another location might not be a bad idea.
As for the events, well, to me, my car is about handling, not 1/4 mile time. The drags were fun, and I'm a straight line person, but I did feel a bit uncomfortable at 119mph with concrete on both sides of me, in a short sleeved shirt no less. So, for safety reasons, I think the drags are way to hard on the people as well as the cars. On the RNG forum, I have solicited ideas there too. An interesting slalom idea came up.
