Regional Divisions - Vote Here
First I would like to get a few suggestions as to what the divisions should be. Please use this map as your sketch pad.
Now, divide up the US so that there is balanced regions. THere are states that can go either way so I want some input. Louisiana and Arkansas could easily be included or left out of the sourth east. Kentucky seems like a south eastern state but goes more readily with Indiana. We don't want a region to cover too much area due to lack of participation by those too far apart.
Let's see what you guys have got!

Considering the current makeup of ITR owners, it would help us continue to associate w/each other if Virginia, the Carolinas and Maryland somehow ended up in the same region.
I don't know if this is logically possible, but it would better help the current crop of ITR owners together who currently associate w/each other.

i 'd say Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Tennessee would be South East since that's how it's defined on http://www.itrca-se.com

Well, regarding the NSXCA map, I just don't get how anyone could put states that are below the Mason-Dixon line (MD, DE, DC) in the Northeast. Also, Considering the metropolis that is Wash DC, it's kinda rediculous to have Virginia (or West Virginia) in a different region than Maryland.
Just my $.02

I like this map!nsxtasy wrote:In case it helps the discussion here, this is how the NSX Club of America is divided into regions:
Mason's and Dixon's line has relevance? These days, I think we draw the line around Fredericksburg, anyway.Ford Prefect: I just don't get how anyone could put states that are below the Mason-Dixon line... in the Northeast. Also..it's kinda [ridiculous] to have Virginia (or West Virginia) in a different region than Maryland.
Most of Virginia is not in the DC metro area, and the parts that are go a-way out of the way not to be a functional or attitudinal part of it. I much prefer living in NoVA/Fairfax than being in either DC or Maryland.
But...if we have to pick between Maryland and Carolina, I think most ITR owners in Virginia would pick Carolina.
West Virginia: I think you are speaking of history more than logical accessibility. The Appalachians seem to form an effective cultural barrier between Virginia and West Virginia. As much as I love the beauty of West Virginia, I'm not sure that citizens of either Virginia or West Virginia would care if they were lumped together.

Well, most Marylanders don't think of themselves living in the "North-anything" that was my point. I would argee that the southern edge of the "DC area" is probably Fredricksburg.George Knighton wrote:Mason's and Dixon's line has relevance?

I wasn't trying to imply your preference for residence. I would much rather live in Maryland, so what?

That is certainly your perogative, I was only trying to say that I thought it would be silly to draw the line throught the DC area, since that would make the other side of town a different region. I for one would hate to find out that I missed a meet or show 10 miles from home because I was only following the news for my region. Then again, there are parts of Ohio that are closer to my home than the DC area is. Heck, Pittsburg is closer to me than DCGeorge Knighton wrote:But...if we have to pick between Maryland and Carolina, I think most ITR owners in Virginia would pick Carolina.
I included West Virginia, since there are many residents there that commute to the DC area for work, also I guess because the WV line is only 6 miles from my homeGeorge Knighton wrote:West Virginia: I think you are speaking of history more than logical accessibility.

YesWould you prefer to go back to having a Mid Atlantic Region?
The majority of R's that participate in events are from VA, MD, DC. Unless it's a track event, we get VA, MD, DC and NC.
We need to have 3 groups on the Altantic side here, as the length of the Atlantic Coast IS longer than the Pacific Coast....
I see it as a drivability issue. Say in the SE, will FL R's drive up to a meet in NC? Will ME R's drive down to MD?
Thanks,

Summit Point.
VIR.
CMP.
Lowes.
I'll probably get talked into Beaver Run because it's a new track.
It seems to me that I've seen the NC gang at all those places.
I doubt that I'd drive to Road Atlanta or a place in Florida unless it were a vacation.
You said, unless it's a track event. What else has there been? What is ITRCA going to be about and going to be doing, anyway?
I can't recall anything that wasn't either a Honda-Tech or a NASA/Honda-Tech affair.
Don't want to start a fight, but I'm actually honestly curious what we're talking about and why it's important.
Based on the general feedback I have gotten so far I have divided up the regions. You can read the divisions on the main forums page

I am still open to discussion but was trying to get some stuff flwoing in a forward direction. I divided things up based of area covered, location, population and it has nothing to do with some line we used way back when to divide up the states..

I still think that we need a seperate NorCal region, as it does have one of the largest amount of cars.Trey wrote:Based on the general feedback I have gotten so far I have divided up the regions. You can read the divisions on the main forums page

Austin
I was looking at how to do that. Largets number of cars doesn't mean you need to segregate. Distance would be the biggest thing. If you guys have just the North Cali region then Utah peeps that are close will never know what is up.
THat isn't to say we can't do something supplementary.
I also shoudl be able to make mailing lists for all the regions regionname@itrca.com so you can do Nocal for that
