I have mixed emotions on that point, Brooks. Only a handful (maybe two hands
full) of our local autocrossers (congrats to you!) go to Topeka. It would be
nice for our local courses to prepare those people for the "big show", but at
what cost? Perhaps "Nationals=type" courses should be a part, but just a part,
of the SFR repertoire (always liked that word!) Perhaps the few events
concluding the regular (pre-nationals) season? I believe SFR need the
non-Nationals bound crowd as well as the hot-shoes. DNFs are not the suggested
method of gaining repeat business. - Seth
