I think they have done a great job setting up the series and creating divisions. GT3K, GT2K, AWD. I don't see a reason to change that. I would think that people would want to have a chance to run against the best of the best and be able to measure themselves against the top guys and see how they stack up. The run groups have already divided people into skill level which allows everyone to run at their skill level.
As far as trailering goes, it's a necessity for many reasons that have already been stated. If you are going to run on a track and abuse your car like a racecar then you you need to be prepared for catastrophic failures that can happen. Just because it's a street car doesn't mean it has to drive everywhere.
I personally think it's really cool walking through the pits at a USCA event and seeing all of the trucks and trailers. It's an awesome atmosphere and It feels no different to me than being in the pits at your local short track on a Saturday night and it gives everyone a feeling of being a racecar driver even if you aren't running door to door on track. What's wrong with that.
