Or better yet, go to a Nat'l Tour event. I went to one at Atwater in 2004. I was Reno's reigning STX champ at the time, and was getting schooled by 4 seconds per lap.
"Humbling" is an understatement. Reno's region is not all that competitive on a national scale... which is why a lot of the Sacramento folks place well up here, and why all the constant arguing over street tires, high altitude, and PAX are so ridiculous. Anyone that wants to win in Reno just needs a fairly well prepped car for their class and the driving chops to use it. In general I'd say Reno cars and drivers are like 6/10 of where they need to be to compete nationally. We've only got a few drivers that are really good at the sport.
...'course that's based on my experience from '03 to '06... I haven't been autocrossing much since then. Maybe ya'll have gotten better than you used to be.
