    I dont see too many tracks close to Pittsburgh to ride on the new schedule. Do you think any more dates will become available? I may have to ride with the "other" org, as they have more dates that are closer to me. :(

    Depends on what part of the Midwest you live in, if you're in WI/IL/MI/IN you can stay pretty busy without much effort. Is there not a lot of east coast stuff?
     
  4. I live in mid mich and Im really happy with the schedule. But the east costers dont seem to have a lot close to them.

    1 NJ :\

    all far for me

    I live in Pittsburgh. Grattan, my favorite track is about 7 or 7.5 hours. Mid Ohio, Beaver and NJ would be closest. Few Beaver, no Mid Ohio (understandable), I will try NJ (again not too close). I will just have to either ride less or travel more, or both to ride with stt. My question is, will there be more dates added?

    I do not believe we are looking to add more dates at this time

    Be strong Luke...avoid the darkside.

    Come to ACC. We have a couple three day weekend events. Full course at ACC is fun

    I agree......

    We go to Barber every year. I just moved to Pittsburgh this year from Columbus OH. It seemed easier and closer to a lot of tracks living in Columbus. With the way money is, adding 3 or 4 more hours both ways to a trip may make it a no go with the wifey.

    I feel your pain bro. Closest track on the STT schedule for me is Putnam, followed by Grattan. Not a huge fan of Putnam, and at 3+ hours its not real close. Grattan is 6 hrs. Probably going to be a light year for me.

    Do ride share with people and it will cut down on the cost. I know we went from dublin, oh up to grattan with 4 of us and it wasn't too bad on cost at all.

    Grattan is just about 300 miles exactly. But its hard to make a season out of just Grattan dates. Not impossible, but hard.

    Its even more difficult to justify having so much money tied up in all these vehicles and equipment for only a half-dozen or so events that I'll realistically be able to make.

    Some tough choices lay ahead.

    Grattan has many mesmerizing curve....nope, same there

    I want to ride grattan all day and nig...DAMMIT, that one too

    Ok, Ive got it, Grattan would lifeless and unemotional if it were to act in a movie...nope, same there too, I may be stumped, they're exactly the same in every way
