I **think** it comes down to these guys not wanting to throw dirt on their paint..
Generally, it's a number of possible factors. Other commitments, budget constraints, car down for maintenance/repair/upgrade, too far to drive (Thunder Hill is a tank of gas, a hotel room night, eating out, plus wear items on the car). Speaking for myself, almost every one of those has applied on rallycross event weekends. Hell, I haven't autocrossed my own car in 5 events.

Not so much. We'll discover that for certain in October if you're up for a challenge.
