Tempting to go experience it while it is on the west coast, BUT -
1) I'm committed to supporting Conference and every SCCA National race required to qualify would only reduce my entries with the ICSCC
2) After the way I have seen Grip treated in the last couple go 'rounds I would hate to go try to have that national championship experience only to get in the middle of rage induced wreck fest which seems to be a lot more likely than I would ever think was acceptable for amateur racing. I've been following the runoffs for decades and I have to say that it ends up in unhappy people with torn up racecars and a sour taste in their mouths too often to be just bad luck or a racing deal.
