Personally, while it might be fun at first, I'd hate to see
autocrossing become a TV/heavily sponsored thing.
Can you imagine the rules changes?
"Well, all you guys with old cars can't bring in sponsorship,
you have to go."
"Zik Zak's cars aren't winning enough! We have to do something
to change that!"
"We want cars that look like what real people drive! No more
Mod cars!"
It might be fun to have some of our events seen, and it could
be beneficial to the sport, however, in the long run, those
putting up the money will expect certain returns. I for one
have no want of pimping out a sport that's really just a bunch
of amateurs having fun in a parking lot.
