It appears you've never been to a NMCA race at Maple Grove or Atco. You've also never been to a race at Cecil Co. with the now defunct NSCA. The majority of the NSS racers at all of these events were from places other than the east coast. Many were from Ohio & Indiana with some from as far away as Texas.
Kurt Neighbor and Skip Koester both of Ohio have raced with the 422 Motorsports group in the past also.
