Nationals Survey is out!

[Christine Grice]

Here is my very unscientific comparison, It involves scrolling into google earth until the distance guage shows 1000ft, then taking screen shots of each place. I then outlined the racing and paddocking area.(or potential racing and paddocking area)



Left to right: Blytheville, Forbes Feild, Lincoln, Heartland Park.


My conclusion: Lincoln is awesome!

[Christine Grice]

Even better picture:

[Marshall Grice]

LINCOLN! LINCOLN! LINCOLN! LINCOLN! :gpower:

[Bob Beamesderfer]

Hot Rod Lincoln! The place is huge!

[Jason Isley BS RX8]

WOW, nice work. That should have been included with the survey.

For those that didn't get the survey and would like to let SCCA know their opinion, email Doug Gill with the year you last did Nationals and then where you would like the Nationals to be held.

Those that got the survey knows there was a lot more on the survey than just the sites. SCCA was looking at current entrants only but will take a look at those that ran the last couple of years.

Where're you-all getting 600 miles more to Blytheville? My pc atlas shows it as plus 290.

Uh, round trip? ;) But looking at Christine's pictures, I sure wouldn't be interested in running there.....

[David Avard]

If you are south of I-70 (in other words, if you come out I-40), it's only an extra 300 or so miles each way. For our friends north of I-70 (SF, Portland, Seattle, Utah, Denver, Topeka), it's an extra 500 miles EACH WAY. Enough to add two extra travel days. And it would be 3 long days, too.

LINCOLN! LINCOLN! LINCOLN! LINCOLN! :gpower:

DAMN THAT PLACE IS F-ING HUGE

Cornhusker country here we come!

[Mako Koiwai]

emailed Doug this morning ... haven't heard back yet.

[Kurt Rahn]

If the sizes are relatively equal, I'm wondering how they even ran autox (at east anything mildly interesting) at Heartland Park. It looks like the "autox" from the Mini event a few months ago at the Rose Bowl.

[Glenn Duensing]

emailed Doug this morning ... haven't heard back yet.

Doug is at the Runoffs.

Doug forwarded my message to Nancy ... who wrote the following to me:

The survey is only being sent to those who attended the championship
this year. It is an opinion poll only and is not a referendum on any
issue or site.

Don't know. They haven't added everything up yet.

Funny. From Howard:

Glenn,

Folks should remember that this was a survey or poll and not a
referendum on the location of Nationals.

However, folks are welcomed to send their thoughts to us via email.

I am assuming that the reason NE has got folks attention, particularly
out west are the pictures on the forums of Lincoln and the 350 mile
savings in travel (from LA). Unfortunately pictures of the AR site I do
not believe have been distributed widely, so it is a bit one sided in
that regard. Having seen both, they are equally excellent from a size
and surface perspective. Beyond that, they each have their respective
advantages.

I trust both Howard and Grady's descriptions of the sites. I am however curious about the advantages to Blightvile? Other than the drive for SE residents. Weather? The small town hospitality? That one I don't trust, Blightvile isn't Mayberry.

Stacey and I only got 1 survey link so only one of us could take it.

Thanks for the new fapping material... I was getting tired of play/pause/rewinding the hyperco video

[David Avard]

Stacey and I only got 1 survey link so only one of us could take it.

That would be the disadvantage of using the same email address for both of your entries. Julie and I each got a survey because I use a separate email account for her. We also have different SCCA member numbers (for a while there, SCCA added _1, _2, _3 etc to member numbers with family and/or spouse accounts).
