Alex, there is a large market for kids who are exactly what we don't need to get in large numbers at autocross,and you are quite aware of this. Can you think of a single bigger draw for that type of person than the Xtreme Autofest Dance Club Doriftorama that's happening adjacent to us this weekend? I can't.

Nobody here thinks that there is absolutely zero cross-section of young people who will be quality additions to our autocross contingent out here, but the percentage is pretty slim, and there WILL be the asshats we try to avoid at all costs coming along for the ride. Might we get some members out of their crowd that we are happy to have with us on a regular basis? Sure. Is it more likely that someone will do something stupid like drift into a parking barrier (or worse, a courseworker and/or spectator who didn't think he had to stay on the other side of said parking barriers)? Absolutely.
