Topic: Other race tracks
I'm pretty much a total noob to this whole scene so maybe this has come up before but the new 2020 schedule got me wondering. Why aren't there more races at more tracks? I'm up in the northwest corner, so I'm extremely pleased that The Ridge is on the list, but if I wanted to race additional races, the next nearest races to my house are in the 900+ mile range.
Portland, OR and Seattle (Kent anyway) both have large road courses that seem like they would be suitable for Lemons. I'm a literal outlier but looking at a map it seems like there is a large portion of the country (and lets not forget Canada) for whom Seattle or Portland would be their nearest (or second nearest) race, if those were options.
I don't mean to sound whiny. I'm not complaining so much as curious. Is it a matter of projected attendance? If there were more of a demand for venues up here, would that increase the likelihood of it happening? Are a lot of people who race at The Ridge already coming up from California? Is PIR a bunch of turds?
Anyway, thanks for humoring me
