Some follow up points-

IT is really an amateur version of Speed Word Challenge in many ways...it makes sense that the "everyman version" be on SCCAs biggest TV show.

IT is already expensive...Serras car sold form more than most equivilent class (FP?) Prod cars, and the stories of ITS are well known. Winning (at the national level) wouldn't go up a tremendous percentage, but 10th place probably would.

As it stands now finishing in the top ten is a real feat fro me, I doubt I would see much track time as a driver at the Runoffs. But it should still be done.
