Potential New Sites

The purpose of this thread is not to conjure a discussion of opinions on what a good site is. The purpose of this post is to begin accumulating possible locations that meet or exceed these basic qualifications in order to begin a record or possibilities:
1. At least 23,000 meters-sq*
2. Flat surface with little to no damage (potholes, large cracks, missing surface material) and no major dips or bumps
3. No or very little obstructions (in size and density; the more open space the better)
4. An area in which is or looks to be one that would be attainable on the weekend


*Based off of the small MIS lot; Belle Isle Paddock is about 29,000 meters-sq; Livonia is about 33,000 meters-sq

If you have a suggestion that meets these criteria, make a post with the following:
-Description of the area (Title of area and/or cross-roads)
-Map coordinates or map screenshot of location
-Size (meters-sq)
-Comments on area (what the surface is like, what obstacles are present, etc.)


I will monitor this thread for posts and update the list below with the suggestions. Than, I will do my best to qualify them as meeting SCCA criteria. After that, my hopes are that a conversation can be started with SCCA heads and then the lot owners to see the possibility.

Palace is one that is on my mind, too, and one that seems to get brought up a lot. Definitely something to consider.

Interesting note on Oakland potentially buying it...

Frank, didn't I see you mention recently that you have found some some site for next season? If so, what sort of proposal packet/paperwork did you put together when reaching out to that site?

If any of you need a Solo Site Acquisition packet that the National Office distributes, please let me know and I have one and can get it to you.
