What track would you most like to see added to the 2011 schedule?
I'll Start...
Nashville Super Speedway - Nashville TN
Yes, I know Chumpcar crashed and burned there, but Hey, It was CHUMP CAR!
Central to the US
Easy to get to - just off I-40
Tons of other stuff to do.
Nelson Ledges. Enough said.
Road America-Come on, how much fun would that be?
Lime Rock-Be a lot of fun to harrass the locals
We need a Giro d'Jersey or a 24 Ore di Guido at NJMP.
Lime Rock (though that will NEVER happen... no racing on sunday 
)
NJMP
Covered in another thread, but TWS - sometime in the late fall, when it's nice and cool.
+1 for Texas World Speedway. As long as you don't pick a weekend when A&M has a home game I think it would be awesome. Centrally located for all the Dallas and Houston folks and plenty of cheap accommodations right down the road.
Uphill esses...
Oak Tree...
Hogpen...
I think that full-course may be too fast for Lemons but I would love to see you guys put on an event at VIR.

+++ TWS 2.9 mile course is a total blast to drive. Winter, Spring or Fall would be fine. Lots of covered garages and plenty of RV parking.
Somewhere, anywhere, in the Pacific Northwest. Pacific Raceways (formerly SIR) and PIR come to mind.

I agree ... but that wall might scare them away.
+1 for Road America and/or Black Hawk Farms
+1 for NJMP. The Lightning circuit has lots of run-off room for speed-squeemish organizers and it's near the home of the Shrek Glass re-call!

Which wall? At the next of turn 15 onto the front straight?

Oak Tree...

The south course (includes Oak Tree turn) would be perfect for a Lemons race. And only a 30 min drive for me too boot! 
Its an expensive track to rent though.

I'd just like to not be racing at ECR in mid-summer again. Any other time of the year would be great.
My wish list would include:
Laguna Seca (yeah, right)
Road Atlanta
Barber
The Indy 500 road course (this is a wish list after all -- gotta dream big!)
and a true 24 somewhere.
+1 for NJMP.
NJMP: yes, have some.
plus the proximity to Philly makes relevant all kinds of sweet themes.

Yeah ECR was pretty brutal this year. I'm sure MSR would have been just as bad if it were held on the same weekend though.
It's probably not practical, but if they didn't hold any Gulf region races from June through August, I wouldn't complain.
+1 for Road America and/or Black Hawk Farms
+1 for BHF. Would be perfect for this series.
+1 for Road America. Of all the tracks I went to when I was crewing star mazdas, RA was overall the best. Great track, decent track food, friendly local town (especially Siebkins bar!)
A return to nelson would be fantastic, especially for a true 24. The amenities aren't the greatest, but the crew is top notch, having a true 24 is awesome, the track is fun, you'd have to be dumb enough to drive a Cadillac if you wanted to hit the bridge, and its only 3 hours from home for us ;-)

Hey, that stings!
BHF would be a lot of fun as it is a great track but like Hallet Motor Racing Circuit, the paddock is inside the course making it difficult for parts runs. However, considering how close the track is to Wisconsin (stone's throw) a team with catastrophic failure can drown their sorrows in a few cases of New Glarus beer.
Speaking of Wisconsin, a championship race at Road America in the fall would be awesome. Invite the top 25 finishers from all of the previous Lemons races that year and put 300 cars on that track! In a word....Legendary.
+1 for road america, even with 100+ cars it would look empty, and the braking zone to turn 5 would be epic.
Blackhawk farms would be nice seeing its like 20 minutes from my house, and the layout is suited pretty good for the cars, but i would say pits being on the inside would make it difficult.
IMHO, BHF is like a go-kart track me. I did a track day there and it didn't do nothing for me, sorry.
Road America, hell #ucking yeah!
Maybe IndyCar can be our support race at Elkhart Lake
