It is not really crazy at all, just works like two single events for the most part. I doubt it will get 300 people, the natl tour did not hit that with more money on the line. The idea with these is that it helps to prepare you for the National Championships.

You have a few extra items to deal with... There are some required decals that you have to run, cost like $6. And at the end of each days competition for your class there is impound - this happens in grid, you are typically held there for 30 min after your runs. This allows results to be completed and checked for mistakes, and gives you the opportunity to look at your competitors cars. Impound is hands off, just visual. If you think someone is not compliant with the class rules you file a protest. But at a Divisional this rarely happens. In 2008 we did a three event West Coast Div series - San Diego, Cal Club and San Fran - out of the three events there was one protest.

This is a much lower key event than the Tour that went on last month in San Diego, but is a step up from a local event. I think best part is that this does bring in some talent from other parts of the SW. While we do have a very talented local group here, it can be a real eye opener when you go to a bigger event.
