@ Tom, I generally agree with you here. I'm sure there is something logistical here that complicates track-to-track interactions (namely, how each track negotiates which big event they will host, since each event brings in money for the track. This can lead to some serious politics which I'm sure happens in SoCal, but we're just not aware of it since we're not there). One thing that Mark had pointed out in fairness is that we don't take ROAR too seriously out here. I would imagine the case is different in SoCal, and that helps them quite a bit with hosting big events. Also doesn't hurt that most of the big manufacturers are based in SoCal, so it is natural that they would push for events in their backyard. Not that we couldn't make a strong, consistent community here with the right leaders and effort, but pragmatically speaking, the strongest community is presently in SoCal. And as Sam Kinnison said, "you don't live where the f**king food is."
Why do you always have something to say about my car or my racing?
