Dont know what I was thinking with the first poll with hours. Lets try this again. [Smile]

How far was your drive (in miles) to finals any year you may have went?

2200 one way for me. Do not think you'll ever see me at finals, at least if it's in Nashville. Much too far.

It's always great to have a show within easy driving distant and it will be impossible to please everyone. What I would like to have is a location that will bring more spectators to the event.

In my opinion, it would be better to have a location where there are lots of people and few things to do except attend our event - ie - Kansas City. I just got home from the USACI Mexico finals in Acapulco - Antonio usually has thousands of spectators - he had many, but not as many as in other locations. I think one reason was the beautiful beaches, clubs, etc. Too many things going on which were more important and interesting to our demographics than watching us boom our cars.

This is the samething that I said somewere else. I dont think that Nashville bring the crowd that retailers would like to have. So I dont see any more major company comming to DBDrag anytime soon.I like right down the road from one of them, and he said that he might not be there next year because there just wasnt the crowd the last couple of years that make it worth while. He said that he has a lot better crowd at Usaci and Iasca so he is going to probaly drop DBDrag next year. We well Wayne needs to talk to the major companys and see what they think as well as competors. True alot of the competors are mainley form around here. But would the nunbers grow if it were in a more centeral location were it would be closer for everyone and a better place for more spectators?? I think so and so dose someone that has been in this sport and has more corperate support than anyone else. ALMA GATES!!
