Yes Kathy, NO futurity in California next year. For southern CA folks, AZ will be the closest. For northern CA folks, you'll get a choice of UT - minimum of 10 to 12 hours, AZ, 12 to 14 hours or WA, also 12 to 14 hours. Denver is a "bonus?" at 20 to 24 hours from WA, OR and northern CA. Oregon residents have the same problem as southern CA. Washington is reasonably close, UT & Colorado are only(?) a 12 to 22 hour drive. I see a LOT less entries on the "left" coast. Just doesn't seem right.....

Hi Guys I was looking at the PC site, and saw that there are NO futurities planned for CA in 2009 , is this correct? They seemed to be grouped into UT, CO and AZ. That means a LOT of driving for a very large exhibitor population in CA and I imagine, with gas prices....waaaay less entries.... What's up with that?
