Will,
Is this an extension of the discussion on the CSCC
Solo2.com message board? If so here is my opinion, I
am a new points card member and agree that regular
competitors/points card holders should have a
preference with extra openings going to others. I see
the practices as the way to get better (January was
only my third autox event) and then Sundays as the
time to really see how my learning is going. I
understand how someone would love to do just the
practices, they are very cost effective, but now that
I have joined I guess I feel the membership should
give me an advantage over a non-member in attending
club events.
