Baseball is fun, but not in the same way that soccer is... or cycling... etc.

Eh, I'm with equ - I started to do only test and tune days because I got to do run after run and work on the things that mattered to me; when they stopped doing test and tunes because of poor attendance (which was great for the attendees, but not worth it for the organizers), I stopped going.
Regular autox days had way too many entrants on lots that were way too rough. It got to the point where you could fall asleep waiting your turn. I hated it; getting up at 6 am on a saturday or sunday lost its appeal quickly. I met some nice people and some absolute assholes, but I never really got the auto x culture thing. My first run or two was always my best, then I'd go downhill out of sheer boredom.
