Memphis is a non-starter due to location, as it never draws cars. Bowling Green would not work in May due to weather, which leaves either a mid-summer date ("It's too hot to race / too many races back to back") or October (I pulled my motor after Indy). I'm inclined to stick with what we know for another year to isolate variables, as we are already looking at picking up 50+ cars next year based on feedback. If we make a significant move in date, location, or both, we will have no way of knowing what did and did not work. If we'd had more cars at the inaugural event, we'd be more apt to take various risks, but reality dictates we make measured decisions in order to grow.

Thanks for ALL of your incredible efforts both on and off the track, Ed. You were a major part of the inaugural event, and we appreciate you!
