I personally like Pittsburgh area as I have expressed to Barry G! He is probably sick of me mentioning it by now! You have Beaver Run Motorsports complex and then Keystone drag way.

I know with Beaver Run, you rent the autocross complex. Just thoughts That is where Heath and I used to autocross... Heath is the DSP champion and I got 3rd for DSP.

Wooo, go Pittsburgh

[Turbodave]

1/8 mile in front of my house... Just tuned there tonight!!!

We could time people around the Cul-De-Sac, and the host hotel could be Ken's basement (ask Patty what time the continental breakfast is served ). Steaks on the Grill for Hospitality night (it's always hospitality night when you hang with the OVC guys), a couple Kegs on the deck, and I'm sure we could entertain ourselves with the hill in the back yard. It would probably be the most profit making SDAC yet...

I'll put down my $50 right now.

More address detail, and also we have ourselves high res pictures!

Wow...that also goes to explain some of why the Cecil County Dragway get togethers are so well attended each year.

Ya I had 6 addresses not found/mapped. Google Earth Pro rocks... simple delimited file of either addresses or lat/log in batches of 100 works awesome!

That sounds good Ken, and if your neighbor's dog Lilly is out standing in the road barking at everyone, we can have an autocross course with moving obstacles.

Here is the Google Earth plot of SDAC members by city only. Maybe we can work something our Barry to have higher detail (street address) as long as I only publish the high altitude version like this picture. The reason is because multiple people in a city only show up as one dot.

Enjoy!

I must be the single dot in the Central Valley (California).

More parts in the junkyard for me!!

What about around Detroit? Is Milan Dragway expensive to rent?

[BadAssPerformance]

There have been a few SDAC events in Detroit... I was at Milan for SDAC 7 and SDAC 10...

[R/T]

Hmmm, no members in Cuba.....

I'm all for another Midwest SDAC.

[BadAssPerformance]

It could be in Miami or Alaska and I'll do my best to get there! WoooHooo! cant wait till next year!

[SpoolinGLH]

Im anxious to hear where its going to be as this will hopefully be my first SDAC im going to attend....as long as its not TOO far from Ohio.....I say have it around my area. LOL... I live 20 mins away where the HOT ROD supernats used to be held up until i think 2 years ago..... We have two choices of drag strips. Quaker Dragraceway and Thompson Drag...Then we can cruise 224 in Boardman. Where ALL the cars hang out at A&W and Chilis.....that would be sweet!!

[bradp]

I just hope there is an auto-x next year. This will be my 1st year back after a few years. Somebody needs to put Angelo back in his place in the ET drags also.

Quaker is the only FWD friendly track around... except for Norwalk... heyyyy there's an expensive idea.

Same for me.....This will be my 1st one this year. Ive heard so many good things from the other Rochester guys that have gone. Your spot sounds sweet. I like the idea of the street cruising at a local car hangout. I vote somewhere in the Ohio, NY, PA area. The closer to Rochester, NY...the better

Wow...that also goes to explain some of why the Cecil County Dragway get togethers are so well attended each year.

I still don't know why Cecil County doesn't just become the home track for future SDACs? They always get huge turnouts as pat said.

We rent the track we use. We like for our folks to have the track to ourselves so we can run a full race program. If we went in on a weekend like the annual Cecil outing, we would just end up with whatever they organized for the public.

And because we rent the track, we must charge enough to cover the rental, usually greater than $60 per car. That fee limits the turnout to any of our drag events, as some folks feel that is just too much to pay to drag race.

SDAC-13 which did use Cecil, was not a successful SDAC from either the attendance or monetary point of view, and the drag racing fees just barely paid for the track rental.

That is why SDAC doesn't consider Cecil as a "home" track for future SDAC's.

That and the fact that we do move the annual convention around so that hopefully it will be close to most of our members at some point.
