2010 Redline Time Attack Schedule

I get the concerns for east coast teams, and they are warranted, but RTA has to cater to what is working more than what isn't working at this stage in the growth of the sport. It definitely better for west coast teams, but thats life. The sport is just much bigger over here.

I know A LOT of the east coast tracks wont let RTA host events at their facilities since they aren't big enough or for whatever other reason. I am sure eventually as the sport grows and gets more and more attention major tracks in the east coast will become available and then they can hold events that will better suit the east coast. The east coast is the mecca of the US for professional road racing. Just look at the GrandAm/ROLEX schedules to confirm that. Hell, North Carolina is the motorsports capitol of the US. Eventually RTA will get big out there, but its not this year.

As for points contention. Nobody is forcing you to build an Unlimited Class car. The rest of the classes have separate east coast and west coast championships. If you choose to build an unlimited class car, you have to work travel into your budget.
