Another event location and ideas needed

[Steve1968LS2]

Putnam Park is absolutely beautiful...and safe...and expensive. The challenge would be to amortize the cost over as many participants as possible. Obviously I am quite motivated to have an event in Indiana. I will definitely work toward that end.
A much less costly alternative would be a more traditional Autocross using a large parking lot or airstrip facility. There is such a possibility in Lawrenceville, Illinois which is on the Indiana border about an hour south of Terre Haute.
Yet another possibility would be a parking lot type event in French Lick, Indiana. They are opening a new casino there in December and will be actively persuing visitors. It is beautiful country [not quite Pigeon Forge, but nice] and the motel and entertainment situation would certainly be a plus.
Need an opinion from everyone...how important is the drag racing portion of an event like this to everyone? That answer will obviously influence the choice of location.
We'll keep digging.

French Lick, Indiana???
