I think there is an interesting perception of what a well run event is.

"Man, I ran with balls to the wall track driving org and they have me tons of open track time. Best track event ever".

I think too many people get sucked into the open track thing. IMO, driving on open track is much easier and gets boring. I don't mind negotiating traffic which I think tests so many critical skills for an intermediate driver. How many times do you see the bad offs and incidents from taking a pass or getting impatient to get a pass?

I also see "automatic promotions" based on # of events. You can still be a shitty, unsafe driver after spending 10,000 hours on track.
