I agree that there should not be elitism, but the need to cap entries at a
certain point is definitely real.
Running 219 competitors in a 2-day ProSolo in the kind of time we did at
Harrisburg is not an everyday feat.
By "not a big autocrosser", do you mean you have not competed in a national
Tour or ProSolo event? those are the topics at hand. I wouldn't worry
about entry limits or selective admission at the Regional/Local levels, so
none of this will affect you.
