Running one day will not help in an SFR points chase. The total will be
probably the one day's time added to 99 seconds. :(
However, if you miss this event because of the economies of overnight motel
costs, tire costs, or whatever, the point penalty will be only the loss of
one event, not two. A good thing.

> Whether, or not, you've thought of running our National Tour on 5-2/4,
> here's some thoughts.
>
> To encourage participation from regular SCCA SFR participants, while not
> seriously penalizing those who don't choose to run, the SFR SCCA Steering
> Committee (SC) elected to include the two-day Tour as a single event of the
> SFR Championship series. The event will be scored using only the "Combined
> time" from both days -- that is, each entrant's fastest time on day 1 plus
> their fastest time on day 2. Points will be awarded as if that combined
> time was a single run in a one-run autocross. Series points will be
> awarded, in the order of class finish, only to SFR members (eg., finish
> 4th in Tour class but, the 1st SFR participant, earns you 200 points, etc.).
>
> The Tour is a, really, enjoyable experience.
>
> There will be a practice course (to get surface familiarity) on Friday at
> $2/run and then challenging courses on Saturday and Sunday.
>
> You must enter as a "Tour" participant, even if you want to only run one
> day (I encourage running both days, more fun and series points). Enter off
> of the SCCA Solo page:
>
> www.scca.org/amateur/solo2/nat_tour/2003/atwater/index.html
>
> The organization of the event is "BIG", in many ways, similar to a "National
> Championship" event. The major difference is "only" around 300 participate
> instead of the approximately 1200 at "Nationals".
>
> As a participant you are exposed to the highly disciplined "Nationals"
> approach to event organization while competing against and watching some of
> the best in the nation. A great experience!
>
> Don't hang back, enter now, you won't regret.

> Thanks for 'listening", Don
