Potential New Sites
Posted: Wed Oct 31, 2018 12:30 pm
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.
