Hi Ohio friends,

With the start of the season approaching, I think it would be interesting to open a thread for discussion about the Ohio circuit this year. I don't have enough experience with all of the sub-regions of Ohio to confidently create any kind of valuable ranking, but if anyone wants to post their thoughts on the state this year, feel free to reply in this topic.
