Wellard!
I'm glad you share some of your common sense.
I realized early on, that a good autocrosser can learn a track and be quite respectable. While I have found many DE people getting lost, not being able to react qwickly enough, not having the FULL understanding of oversteer and understeer and what to do about it. "I can't do this because my car is set up for track". Ha! well, that supose to be perfect then! The reality is that the turns in AX come up at a much faster interval than any track. Even Shumy can take a nap between turns at any given F-1 race. In AX you have to memorize the course by walking, and only a few laps to get the fastest lap. In DE one can practice all day, and after the tires are nicely warmed up to their sweet range, you can get a fast lap.
So, after all this, AX is important for the development of good drivers, and it is the ONLY competitive moving event at the Porsche Parade. AX was the cornerstone on which RTR was built on.
IF AX WERE ANY EASYER........IT WOULD BE CALLED "ROAD RACING"
