I agree. For the most part, we've just attended regional VTR events in
the Southeast, but in my admittedly limited experience, much less
attention is usually (not always) given to the driving events and awards.

National Convention should put more emphasis on driving.
Agreed. A very important factor in determining if we attend a National
or Regional is whether there will at least be a good autocross.

JK has to trailer his racecar because it's not street legal. I jump at
the chance to trailer my car so I can drive the competition events (VTR &
SCCA) without slowing down because in the back of my mind, I know I have
to be able to drive it home. But we just have a one-car trailer (and
it's an open one), so my D Street Prepared TR-6 is usually driven to all
events. With one exception, I've driven it back home each time,
including the 500 or so miles from the Chimney Rock Hillclimbs & Beech
Mtn. Hillclimbs the last four years. But I just know I could get better
times if there was a trailer waiting there after the event! :-))

once--maybe)
