Runoffs Drivers at the ARRC by GRM?

[Butch Kummer]

Personally I'm in favor of letting everyone in regardless, but then I compete in a non-Runoffs class as well. What I'm hearing from some is the fear that letting the Runoffs (aka - "well-funded") drivers in will keep the less serious drivers away, but I also have folks telling me they want to compete against the best regardless.

Last year we added the Runoffs classes and the world didn't explode. If we have the same (non)result by allowing Runoffs drivers to compete in 2011 maybe we can take the next step in 2012?

Y'all really need to not fall asleep during those Cat-Herding 101 classes...

Butch,

i've only competed in the ARRC twice but i would say do what maximizes revenue for the region.

many decide/budget at the beginning of the year where they will be for year end (if choosing between runoffs and ARRC, etc.).

hope you pick up some additional drivers/entries by doing this!

and as others have said, many don't cross over because of the IT/regional vs. National nature of the classes anyways.

my question would be, if the arrc is effectively a national championship race where regional only classes are allowed to enter, is there something that can be done to make the national/runoff class races different from the runoffs?
