Focus on the east coast, perhaps spreading the calendar out will allow the grid to build over the year, no enduro’s etc… after two years of lost momentum, they need a season to get their feet again I think. Whether time permits though?

Both TCR and S5000 definitely need to do that - 2022 is a new start for both, after any momentum from their initial starts has been lost through virus times.
I don't see them throwing around the large amounts of money that they did during their initial starts and I agree - sticking to East Coast, allowing plenty of prep/turnaround time between races is a way to assist competitors and a "walk before they run" approach that is needed this time.
It is almost inevitable that any series throwing large amounts of money around as a means of starting up is going to suffer a dip when the spending eases back - in some ways covid world has spared ARG from that dip due to the enormous hole covid created.
ARG now can aim to get going in a more conventional way and build a good foundation for their future plans.
