Hey guys... I've been following this and you can put me down as a last minute decision. I'm currently unemployed so nothing stopping me from going ANYWHERE. 8-) Only catch is, anything beyond a day and the old girl is coming on a trailor. Can an Urs4 pull an Urq ?
cheers,
tom.

OK- wanting to help UPG some traction, I have read most of the posts and
tried to filter most of the input relating to majority preferences and desires.
Following is my input and opinions, hopefully well thought-out, and very
intentional regarding objectivity, and making every attempt to be impartial.
The important components for most responders seem to be:
1) Race track
2) Scenic and challenging day trip/road trip availability
3) Coordinating event (i.e. professional race series or other major
function)
4) Attractions/Amenities/Infrastructure
5) West Coast accessibility
6) East Coast accessibility
My main interest, which I think is shared by everyone, is to gather as many
URQs as possible. A recurring annual event would be fantastic!
I believe that trying to gather from both coasts with a central location to
both will achieve neither. While the suggestions of Kansas City & Omaha are
very central and would be on my âgoâ list (1 day trip), I think we would not
get much attendance from either coast. The recent Park City Utah event saw
only 10 cars, most of which were from Colorado. Planning an event 800 miles
farther East (i.e. K.C.) and I feel the participation will be even less. I have
also not to date seen much East coast interest. Any interest in K.C from
eastern listers?
After much map searching and numerical evaluation, Colorado Springs meets
the top 4 of the above components with an âAâ rating, and #5 with a B or C
(admittedly F on 6).
The general consensus, which I share is, seems to be that the travel limit
is a âone day one wayâ distance. While Colorado Springs is not a day trip
from the West coast, K.C is not a day trip from either coast.
Another point to consider is that there are by conservative estimates,
approximately 25+ URQs in the Colorado front-range area.
Iâm willing to compromise and contribute whatever resources of time and
effort I can to bring this to fruition.
