No, no no... You guys got it ALL wrong!
You need a track day in the mid-west. Like Heartland Park Topeka, Mid American Motorplex (GREAT track for beginners), Tulsa Raceway Park, or other. Not St. Louis, or Iowa Speedway.
I bet you would get more people too, because its in the middle of the USA, its perfect!
Or go to VIR!
