Okay, so I went back to the old town hall notes (
http://www.widgetracing.com/clubrally/index.htm) to take a glance. I didn't see it, but I'm hoping a fresher pair of eyes might help. Would you be willing to take a closer look?
By the way, here's a quote from the '99 notes:
The "Club" in "ClubRally" is enticing new participants, and SCCA is in negotiation for a title sponsor for the 2000 ClubRally series.
and from the 2001 notes:
we've failed as PRB, we need to get more minutes out, and posted on web. Most rules came out of Stpr monday meeting. Unfortunately, bunch of unpaid people, not enough time, to get proper minutes.
and from the 2002 notes:
We are selling more books than we anticipated. These are very expensive to produce, but since we're doing better on sales than expected, if we can reduce the cost of books over next two events, will do.
and
Fastrack bulletin will be coming about clubrally points structure now being the same as Pro.

Envision a traditional intersection with four corners.
Put a gas station on one corner. Let's say it makes $10,000/month. (A purely arbitrary value for illustration purposes.)
Now add a second gas station at the same intersection. Both gas stations will each make more than $10,000, say $12,000.
Now add a third gas station. All three gas stations will do better than either as a single or a double, maybe $15,000.
Brad didn't have an answer for a fourth station.
Each station profits more when the consumer has more options to choose from.
