But the miles go up and the practicality goes down here in the US. That's one factor. The other factor is that NET events make so much more sense anyway, especially since North Americans tend to be individualists and somewhat less gregarious (perhaps) than Europeans. Besides, look how many US entries there are for CCT6, which are more than any other country so far with likely more to come. I don't think GCPs arguments about lack of interest over here hold water.
