I work for the man. Never get to a race early enough to be teched before the morning the event begins, and I run the first and third classes out here in D5. Sleep up in the riser of the 5th wheel trailer next to all the spare parts. If the track doesn't have a shower, neither do I.

The system is what it is. National events are not a priority for me. It probably sounds crazy, but I prefer divisionals. You're wasting your time and energy if you think anyone cares why you couldn't get into an event. If it's really important to you, then you make it happen. If you want to say it is important but aren't fully behind it, then you can come on here and complain about why you didn't get in.

I live in the Twin Cities area of Minnesota. I may have it just slightly better than you did out west as far as travel to run divisionals and nationals.

Building a car for class racing and complaining about all the travel is like building a house near the airport or racetrack and complaining about the noise.
