Roy,

I agree with everything you've said except for combining these events.  
This has been done before with resultant failure. These are two  
separate events with completely different agendas. It makes as much  
sense as giving concourse entrants rally-style directions to get to  
the concourse venue or combining the economy run with the autocross.

Combining these two events cost a guy the Cole award at the Asheville  
convention when he got lost on the economy run and got something like  
11 mpg.
