This leads back to the bigger things get, the harder they are to make everyone happy.

We had 174 timed entries in our last KC Region SCCA event last month whereas we typically have 100-110. I was pretty certain it was going to be a disaster because we have to be cleaned up and off of our site at 5 pm sharp, no exclusions. The chair, co-chair and a few of the "leaders" of the Region did a fantastic job though and the whole event ran pretty smooth and we still got 4 runs each but we missed out on our typical parade lap.

Just growing a 1 day event from 100 to 175 entries was a huge undertaking that took planning and a lot of extra work, but the coffers at the end of the day were almost double full from where they typically are. This is how it works...

As an entrant, I prefer the light entry days were we get 5 or 6 runs a day but as a club, I see the benefits of higher numbers. It sounds like the SCCA Regions all have much different Solo events based on how the Regions are run and the number of entrants...it's interesting to me to here reports back from how other regions do things and what the results are.
