Rick I dont care about the distance I have to go to race. Topeka is the only one I have issues with. 14 hrs one way for a one day event, nope. 2 day event, possibly but no way just one.
That transition bothers me (and the lack of showers), not the 6 hr drive. When I started with CCS they had more venues and race dates. 6 at BHF and 4 more at other tracks. 99 they went to Putnam if I recall, 2000 they didnt. What happened to MAM do you know? Hell that one year we had Barber on the MW schedule. Would be nice if we could get back to a 10 race schedule. Hell I miss the first weekend in april at BHF opener. 
Nothing says fun more than having to PLOW the track so we can get to racing. 
I just gotta keep a few one dollar bills with me when I tech next year to bribe ya.
How about years ago the Midwest region included Brainerd, road america, blackhawk, grattan.. Those were good years to be racing. These lets have a race series at one track times stink. No crying about the drive either!
There are enough tracks within the area that we could have a series with one race a month at a different track each month. Let the track day people ride at the same track week in week out. Racers race and this would challenge the real racers.
Brainerd, road america, hpt, blackhawk, mam, grattan, gateway.. There's your summer right there.. Now that would give us some good racing!
