Agree. Give fans from all parts of the country an opportunity to attend with reasonable travel. If you hold it at any site permanently, particularly either coast, you eliminate a lot of fans from being able to attend every few years.

Unless you want to create a new race surface category, you have no business running on synthetic surfaces anyway. Calling a race the "Dirt Mile" on Pro-Ride, Polytrack, Cushion...whatever, it's a joke and you often have results that don't reflect the best runners. You might as well run the Classic on turf if you want to say synthetics are the same as dirt.
