Hugh,
You are contradicting yourself.
First you expressed that your original
post was about "qualifying" for Nationals
and the need for experience. But in the
next paragraph you indicate that
"previous/subsequent motorsports activity"
experience doesn't count. I am confused.
I guess in your view, Neal Sapp and Jeff
Altenburg shouldn't run since they have
"left" the sport." (Neal did run in DC, I
think, I did see him walking the course
on Friday)
