Our "X" class is actually (in the computer or on a run card) TO for Time
Only, and is just what the name implies. The "X" comes from the fact that we
ask people to put an "X" on their car for these runs since many are people
who have already taken their regular class runs and we don't want to confuse
T&S more than they normally are. Same entry fee, just doesn't count for
points or trophy and can run anytime during the day they wish (except we
limit the number of "X" entries in a particular group to prevent a
"rungroupfromhell"). Some are people who just want more runs and don't want
to wait for/if fun runs at the end of the day. Near Nationals, many of
those going enter their regular class and 1 or more "X" entries. I think
I've one person do as many as 4 "X" entries.
