Well I will add road america to the considered list then.

i would definitely include instructors as I feel for drivers not experienced with track driving it would be a fun experience.

seeing if through my contacts i can get someone from PMNA

Eh my friend I know - this is a big Country. That's why I was trying to consider a place that was mid way, had appeal, etc. But if you all tell me all the owners are west of Atlanta then...

As mentioned above COTA would be a thought in terms of central geography but has a few down sides: expensive to rent, hard to read on a short term basis, really expensive place to make a mistake (hitting a barrier can cost the driver upwards of $5000).

I would be down for Road America. A bucket list trip for me. However somewhat selfishly I would like to suggest MidOhio. . Numerous clubs from the east coast, PA, Ohio, Indiana, and KY hold events there. Great layout, very technical. Just a suggestion from the future NCAA co-champs

Personally I do not find COTA very exciting to drive. It doesn't flow.

I haven't driven it but I heard that same opinion - lack of flow. I said hard to read which is probably not as descriptive.

Agreed COTA does not flow and they can't seem to keep bumps from developing in the pavement.

I’d be up for Road America. It’s a great track and lots of fun. I’ve instructed there twice. I’d go again.
