Geographic center of Late Model Racing?

[Clayton_Wetters]

That's how many Conley's we have. 藍

Delmas is going to get out of shape not driving his race car!!!

Wheatland draws the most cars for the least amount of money. But it’s not geographically in the center.

[Clayton_Wetters]

Kentucky by location.

I agree with Clayton. If you have a Latemodel team and are gonna race all over the country, your best bet is to be either located in Eastern Kentucky or North Eastern Tennesse. It just makes sense geographically.

Drivers like, Mccredie out of New York, Earl Pearson out of Florida, and Jungans out of Kansas, etc, are at a huge disadvantage just based off location.

And Bronson. Weiss to but he's based out of Bloomers for most the time. Eckert when on a national tour. Probably another one or two also

What I was talking about was the middle of the map geographically speaking, the bulls eye if you will. Living in Virginia Beach, it's an hour and 30 minutes just to get to I-95. So there's gotta be highway access figured in also. Plus it's in Steel block country, not crates so much but not Supers either. It's not even on the Dirt Super Late Model Road Map. I guess I could have just found the middle of the USA east of the Mississippi river and used that. but I felt like reading something that wasn't about the other thing, that every other thread is about right now.

Florence or Portsmouth? That looks pretty central to me.

I've thought a lot about this and I think it is Louisville, Kentucky.

Could be Louisville. Big town, lots of infrastructure be a good place for a shop it seems like. My line of thought on this was, If somebody in my home area was to go to, say Missouri for 2 shows Friday and Saturday, you can't go home if there's 2 shows in lets say Tennessee the next weekend, you'd spend 2x as much on fuel minimum so basically you're forced to stay on the road. If you need parts you either borrow them or have somebody get in a truck and run them to you. The closer that you are to the center of that wheel the better. When you consider that races are won in the shop more time at the shop is better.

In reverse if you're in Illinois and have 2 races on the East Coast and then the next 2 are in Georgia... See where I'm going with this.

If I were starting a team and could put it anywhere I think it would be close to Terre Haute, Indiana. Close to Illinois (but not in Illinois which is a plus), cost of living in southern Indiana is very reasonable and easy drive to Kentucky, Tennessee and Eldora.

My opinion is East Tenn.
