My original entry-limiting proposal effectively
guarantees SCCA members 4 runs. WHAT COULD BE BETTER?
and makes available the remaining slots for
non-members. Kristi and Jerry suggested some tweaks.
I JUST CAN'T THINK OF A BETTER DEAL, other than to
give away a free Hoosier to every entrant.
But wait! if we change to 3 runs, the lost cost of the
additional run ($25/3) * the number of events (16) =
$130 = a LOST Kumho, if not a Hoosier ;)
What you say below relating to registration
difficulties would not happen with the original
proposal as long as you are SCCA. And I guess many of
us on the list are members.
