We were waiting on a few dates for the AMA GNC calendar to be announced, and now they're all in. I don't know my US geography inside out, but from the list of states I'm pretty sure nothing is going within at least a full day's drive of the West Coast. And that seems insane. But what do I know? If it was easy to organise we'd all be doing it. I guess the people on the West Coast just don't like flat track enough (I'm kidding). What is the reason? No venues?

Yup, the AMA National Flattrack scene has developed an allergy to big coastal cities on either side of the country. They almost had an event in New Jersey a couple years ago, then called it off. The closest since then was in Monticello, NY. which is only a 2.5 hour ride from civilization, but they still didn't get a turn out that could rival a High School football game in most states.
bullshit-I'm pissed...nuff said.
