[quote="Matt Green"]Hey, we can always make Duryea a little longer... How about start line down at Penn Square? :) Size DOES matter! Actually you may have seen pictures of Duryea starting on the street below the current start line. Giants also started further down the street than where it ...

Like I mentioned on the other thread , we seem to want road course events and if we could run this in April what a great tune-up opportunity.
(Makes a lot more sense than Northern NY in October...)

What about having an informal meeting/rally either on the Friday before Giant's or on an off Saturday...is there someplace close to have a PHA meeting? Scare the hell out of some folks.
