So who's going where? I'm in for Walnut Ridge. Don't know about that Milton Frank Event, I mean it's sooo far, like 6 minutes from my house.

Walnut Ridge is probably too far for us. We'd both like to do Milwaukee, but at 800 miles... Huntsville at 700 miles would be possible, but coming the week before Devens makes it tougher to justify. Great Lakes region...depends on where in the region. If it's closer than Peru, probably, further than Peru probably not, Peru... The SER event also depends on where. Ft Myers, no. Atlanta, no (if it's Gwinnett, elsewhere, maybe...February doesn't sound good).
And we'll be doing the DC Pro. Maybe the GLR or SER as well in case we want to do the Finale...but there's not a lot of motivation to plan on it right now.
And we won't be in BS. :D

I'm hearing that they're trying to lockdown South Georgia Motorsports Park in Valdosta, GA (about 2.5 hours south of Atlanta for the February event.

I liked Peru, but jeez, what's the point now that nats is on asphalt? Devens was fun, want to do that one again. Hopefully it'll stay dry.
Milwaukee is enticing, though not sure I want to tow that far.
Atlanta, agreed.. if it's at Gwinnett, NO WAY. Elsewhere, it might be fun. I liked the area and the haul wasn't boring.
Not sure if there is any point to us doing Pros. The car ain't gonna win if Jonathan shows up. But they're fun. But the program sucks this year. But I want to support it. Ach!

I'll be at Walnut Ridge, Houston and Hunstville. Maybe Atlanta. It sounds like some of you aren't that excited about the site so I'll wait and see what happens.

We also had a little adventure in getting there due to some closed back roads that added at least an hour on the way out.

I'll probably do (Aaron probably too):
Feb 24/25--Southeast TBA--probably wherever that ends up, just 'cause I'll have the itch that bad and it shouldn't be too far away
Apr 28/29--Walnut Ridge--maybe...that's right around finals for me, so I'm not sure how easy it'll be to get away
Jun 2/3--Huntsville--definitely
Jun 30/Jul1--Great Lakes TBA--probably if it's Peru, maybe not if it's further
Jul 7/8--Milwaukee--would be tempting if we don't go the weekend before

Clyde and I have been talking about doing the great lakes tour, then driving up to Milwaukee afterwards and parking the rig for a week... flying back to MD, then flying out for the MKE tour. My dad lives in Milwaukee and has a driveway big enough for the rig to sit on for a week.
Of course, Clyde and I are nuts for considering this.
Devens is actually a pretty easy drive if you pick the right time to leave, and it is much shorter than Peru. The only real traffic we dealt with was around Hartford CT on the way out and DE/MD on the way back (stupid beach traffic)

DC<->Boston can be really bad the whole way up and down. If you can time it right going up, it's usually not too bad. Coming back down on a Sunday night can be absolutely miserable from south Jersey until almost Baltimore, but I295 in south Jersey is a decent alternative to the TPK, and if you cut over to US40 and take that down to just above the Baltimore Beltway you can make better time than 95 if it's bad.
Devens was about 430 miles from my house, IIRC. Peru about 650 miles.

Great idea. I might join you at the Airport....The traffic thou in and out of Chicago is the same as DC/NJ 95...Really bad. Milwaukee is a excellent site. Just about the right size for a good National's course. They opted to host a Pro but were not included in the scheduling.
These are the only events close for me. A DC Tour would be better than a Pro. I can't believe I'm saying that. Alas, with no real Pro end of year points etc, why participate in the series. It is also my favorite part of AX...
Looks like a couple of ride swaps might be in order

Interesting. Well, with the change in prosolo, I don't see myself doing any national pros this year, so I was thinking more about NTs. The town definitely sucks, but what can ya do. I hate bremerton - the courses are always virtually identical, the surface sucks, if you lose it in several places you can do some real damage to your car, it's always cold there other than in the very middle of the summer, etc.

For DKNV and I it's looking like:
San Diego Tour (BS)
El Toro Pro (BS)
Atwater Tour (TBD)
Salt Lake Ciyt Tour (TBD)
Pro Finale & Nats (TBD)
we talked about Backwood, WA but decided against it. It probably didn't help that our experience overall last year was everything that could possibly go wrong, did.
EDITED, the Packwood site is really pretty decent, we just had a bad experience that had nothing to do with the site or the area in general

No debating that the Packwood/Mt. Ranier area is gorgeous, though!
I hope I have the time this year to go up there, again. But, if they run one of the new "experimental" Pro's, I'll probably pass on that...
