I'm just guessing here but I suspect this is a way for SVRA to get car
counts back up. It is a good deal for the racer, I get 5 sessions at the
Glen for free (plus the cost to get there and run the car). It costs them
very little to stage it, they rent the track by the day, not by the car.
Besides getting more cars on track (I normally don't do this event), I know
it's drawing more marque specific paying fans through the gate.
I think they're missing out on an opportunity here though to make the same
offer to all Triumph racers, not just the ones on their mail list.
Just wondering what the target Marques are for their other events, besides
MG at Sebring and Triumph at the Glen.
