I ran some numbers of my own... STS has an average of 13 per event, with 9
who have run over 1/2 of the events, and of the ~56 others who have run less
than 1/2 of the events, I recognize 14 names as being at least semi regular
autocrossers.
Street Tire averages 14/event, with 8 competing in over 1/2 of the events, 71
other drivers who didn't and in that 71, I recognize 14 names as being at
least semi-regulars. In that 14 are John & Pat Kelly, Pilar Miranda, Chris
Cox, Carl Merritt, Skip Pack, Eric Cheung, Fred Van Wagenen, Carl Valderama,
Perry Kincy, Jim Rowney, Joe Langarica, and Rob Weinstock... Those are
"staples" of SFR autocrossing. Hardly 1/2/3 event wonders, just folks
looking for a place to play with one of their cars...
