Laguna Seca is my first choice.  I haven't been there since the 1970 Can Am
race.

I'd have to list Willow Springs as a second choice.  It's definitely a
historic track and one I want to race at.

I would like to ask the SoCal folks about the conditions there.  I've heard
that there's significant wind blown sand at some of the tracks in the area,
but I don't remember which tracks were affected, Willow Springs or
Buttonwillow or even Vegas.  Any comments and does the time of year make a
difference?  Not a big deal for my paint job, but it may be for some.

Gentlemen:

I just got off the phone with Joe Alexander to discuss possible locations
for the 2011 Kastner Cup.

Would it be possible for you all to weigh in on the following three options
before we proceed further.

Option One:  Laguna Seca (Mazda Raceway) in June.

Option Two:  Las Vegas Motor Speedway in October

Option Three: Willow Springs International Raceway in March or November

Please reply with your preference(s) and Joe will start a tally.
