Yeah, I'd say that the tristate area is a little bigger than the Bay area. Just by the numbers, I doubt we could have as many events as them. More people, smaller area. Who can afford that many sets of tires, anyways? Most of the drifters around here can barely afford to keep their cars running!
I think the key is that it was at Englishtown. I would think that they get a better deal on insurance (since they're a motorsports park) than a onesy-twosy event like around here. The biggest cost to an event is the insurance. That's why our registrations are higher.
