Just happened this weekend to me, and I wasn't pleased. I run DS and it was
the first time in two years I had no one to run against. I also drive over
a hundred miles to any event, but no one to compete against is the pitts.
Yes this was the same region that didn't give year end trophies last year
but that isn't the point. Competition makes a better driver, and I did not
drive my best. Someone should have beat me and no I didn't stick around for
trophy presentations. I do agree with JD though, year end trophies do make
a difference to a new autoxer or a new person to the region. Everyone needs
their few moments of glory, or at least being noticed.

drive!!!!

Check your bumping order in Appendix B.
After bumping from a Prepared category
a production car moves to either
EM or DM. From there you bump to CM.
Of course this is a mute question when you
consider that you should have formed a class
by now, especially if you started with an
HS Audi Quattro (non-turbo). So if you
end up having to bump an HS car into CM
to form a class...hell, nobody showed up...!
