Many people don't realise this, but when they check those little boxes
of "interest" on their membership renewal form, they're asking for their
membership dues to be shared amoung all of the boxes selected.
If everyone in the SCCA autox community who weren't sharing their
time/effort between types of motorsport (club racing, pro racing, solo,
rally etc.) would just check the autoxers (don't recall the exact
wording right now) box and nothing else, a fair bit more money would be
in the coffers for Solo2.

That mixing of funds comes partly from alot of us checking more than one
box on that membership form.
