Thanks to Greg for posting the information I shared on W2W. Even with the risks that a) things can be taken out of context, and things can be misinterpreted, and c) most importantly - this is a WORK IN PROGRESS, I will share one slide from the Club Racing portion of the presentation:

Again - disclaimer - please keep in mind, a) this is a WORK IN PROGRESS, the information above is only one piece of the overall presentation, and c) don't shoot the messenger. The eagle-eyed among you have probably noticed that some items end up in multiple categories. That's not too unexpected given the diversity within our programs.
