Being a new member myself I would have to agree with Rob. I've read some
good ideas but not having the rookie class isn't one of them. Even if there
wasn't a rookie class I would still participate. Although I'm sure it would
take me alot longer to be any competition to the more experienced drivers.
The rookie class made it less intimidating for me to join, since my times
aren't that far off from the other rookies, but after becoming a member it's
not like I would stop coming even if I do have to be at the bottom of the
list for a while.

Not me, for example. I would be faced with the dilemma of picking R tires,
and then explaining to my wife why these are urgently needed for the
"4-wheel mistress". I would also be faced with the further dilemma of being
a bottom feeder for more time. But I would still return...
