So - a 40% chance Reno won't participate, means 60% we will? 40% won't go, 60% will?
My 40% guesstimate is based on the feeling I got from the room about whether or not we will use the Hawthorne event as one in our points schedule, vs. scheduling a points event at Stead that weekend.

I'm not sure what that means about participation... if it's a points event down there, I assume many people will go just because of points. If it's not a points event, I will be many people will just stay home regardless of their being a Stead event or not in its place.

Really, the only reason I'd go is if the points battle in SM is close and I need the points. And I traditionally do very well at Hawthorne because the faster the event, the bigger my car's advantage. I was deep into 4th gear last year, and even won overall PAX on Sat... but I'd rather stay home than be put in a situation where as a SSS I'm supposed to protest the safety of the event because it won't meet the rules.
