Well, regarding the NSXCA map, I just don't get how anyone could put states that are below the Mason-Dixon line (MD, DE, DC) in the Northeast. Also, Considering the metropolis that is Wash DC, it's kinda rediculous to have Virginia (or West Virginia) in a different region than Maryland.

Just my $.02

 

I like this map!

Mason's and Dixon's line has relevance? These days, I think we draw the line around Fredericksburg, anyway.

Most of Virginia is not in the DC metro area, and the parts that are go a-way out of the way not to be a functional or attitudinal part of it. I much prefer living in NoVA/Fairfax than being in either DC or Maryland.

But...if we have to pick between Maryland and Carolina, I think most ITR owners in Virginia would pick Carolina.

West Virginia: I think you are speaking of history more than logical accessibility. The Appalachians seem to form an effective cultural barrier between Virginia and West Virginia. As much as I love the beauty of West Virginia, I'm not sure that citizens of either Virginia or West Virginia would care if they were lumped together.

 

That map seems to work for me...

let go for it

 

Well, most Marylanders don't think of themselves living in the "North-anything" that was my point. I would argee that the southern edge of the "DC area" is probably Fredricksburg.

I wasn't trying to imply your preference for residence. I would much rather live in Maryland, so what? To each his own.

That is certainly your perogative, I was only trying to say that I thought it would be silly to draw the line throught the DC area, since that would make the other side of town a different region. I for one would hate to find out that I missed a meet or show 10 miles from home because I was only following the news for my region. Then again, there are parts of Ohio that are closer to my home than the DC area is. Heck, Pittsburg is closer to me than DC ;-)

I included West Virginia, since there are many residents there that commute to the DC area for work, also I guess because the WV line is only 6 miles from my home ;-)

Would it work having an area big enough to have Virginia, DC, Maryland and Delaware all in the South East Region?

Would you prefer to go back to having a Mid Atlantic Region?

 

The NSXCA map looks good to me. Curious as to where exactly SOCAL meets NOCAL? Forgive me I have never been to Californ-ia.

Yes

The majority of R's that participate in events are from VA, MD, DC. Unless it's a track event, we get VA, MD, DC and NC.

We need to have 3 groups on the Altantic side here, as the length of the Atlantic Coast IS longer than the Pacific Coast....

I see it as a drivability issue. Say in the SE, will FL R's drive up to a meet in NC? Will ME R's drive down to MD?

Thanks,

so does nor cal have a seperate category?..my first post

 

Yes

Well, let's see. I drive to...

Summit Point.
VIR.
CMP.
Lowes.

I'll probably get talked into Beaver Run because it's a new track.

It seems to me that I've seen the NC gang at all those places.

I doubt that I'd drive to Road Atlanta or a place in Florida unless it were a vacation.

You said, unless it's a track event. What else has there been? What is ITRCA going to be about and going to be doing, anyway?

I can't recall anything that wasn't either a Honda-Tech or a NASA/Honda-Tech affair.

Don't want to start a fight, but I'm actually honestly curious what we're talking about and why it's important.

 

Based on the general feedback I have gotten so far I have divided up the regions. You can read the divisions on the main forums page

I am still open to discussion but was trying to get some stuff flwoing in a forward direction. I divided things up based of area covered, location, population and it has nothing to do with some line we used way back when to divide up the states..
