Perhaps the drivers will not have to run off the course during their work heat to make one of their runs? Martin has the dumbest run/work order on the planet.

As far as I know it is the Gulf Coast club that runs their events where you run, work, sit and then run again due to the idiots that show up and don't work. They are not SCCA West nor East.
I do not believe Martin's runs their events this way. They did not run them this way when they chaired our CRX event autox.
As far as the entry fee is concerned National and State championship events are a higher entry fee.
As for the pre req for being able to run in past years they have required that the participants had run in a certain amount of competition events to be qualified to run the State Championships.
I still don't see the "big" deal about food at an event but whatever makes it better for you go for it. Seriouisly its about being able to run your car not about being fed.
What makes it a competition at a higher level then local is that you only get 3 runs. Its a lot of pressure, makes it interesting and really makes you think about your approach of the course.

I see people out there spending money on the car to improve it … If you spend half that effort just working on your driving skills, making you and the car work together as a team, then you’ll go faster – period. To make the car go a second faster on the track takes a lot more energy and money than making yourself drive it one second faster.
