On the east coast most guys I know drive 3-4 hours to get to the track for 3 passes on a test and tune night!!!

Oh well looks like all the West Coast Racers will have to head over to the East Coast if they want to compete in this Series. I highly doubt many of the local Southern California Racers will travel 1500-3000 miles.

Good Luck NOPI!!!!!
