Raise the entry fee for everyone by $500, use the revenues for a tow fund based on the distance traveled, and see if patterns of geographic participation change.

Or do something - anything, it doesn't matter what - so that the top-finishing cars in all divisional championships attend. That would lend some credibility to asprirations of national championshiphood.

Otherwise, it just isn't - regardless of how great the event is.
