Memphis Area?

I'm currently in the Southeast SARRC series and run in FV. Started out crewing on an ITC Scirocco, so I am still an IT guy at heart.
I'm looking at taking a job in Memphis and relocating there.
How many and what are the tracks in that area; say within 5 hours? I have 6 within 5 hours of me now so there are plenty of opportunities to race here.
I'd like to hope that the Memphis area will be the same.
 
I don't know if any division is like the SE - must be nice.

We have a track here, Memphis Motorsports Park, Nashville (3 hours) seems to be coming on line, and the only other one w/i 5 hours is St. Louis (4 hours). There is Barber/Birmingham <5 hours but I'm not sure if SCCA will be back there again. In a day's drive you can get to Hallett (OK), Mid-Ohio, Road Atlanta, Texas World; in a long day's drive, Charlotte and Topeka.
 
This is kind of off topic, but I was just in Memphis for the first time last weekend and can honestly say that it was a pretty freaking cool city. Amazing food, fantastic music, friendly people, and Beale Street is an absolute blast! I was down there for four days visiting some old friends.

Also, FWIW, Mid Ohio would be about 10-11 hours from there. ;)
 
Glad you enjoyed it, Kevin. Over the last 5 years Downtown has become one big party Thurs.-Sat. :035: :birra:

I spent some time on Mapquest and this is what I came up w/:

NASHVILLE 235
BARBER/B'HAM 250
ST. LOUIS 291
HALLETT 440
ROAD ATLANTA 445
TEXAS MOTOR SPEEDWAY 480
TOPEKA 580
TEXAS WORLD 630
ROEBLING 635
MID-OHIO 650
CHARLOTTE 652
KERSHAW 685
VIR 710
MID-AMERICA/SIOUX CITY 800
 
Bill ...

Just a slight correction - MidAmerica Motorplex in Pacific Junction, IA is about 100 miles south of Sioux City, IA. It's about 20 miles south of Omaha, NE. I know that's still a long ways from Memphis, but MVRG will again host the MidAm Bonus Race. Hopefully some of the MidSouth drivers will come to visit!

I'll just have to make the best of it. Is there a local section website?
When is the next event at Memphis MS Park?
