At least that is where I stand personally. I am not particularly competitive, but if there is a system in place (86CUP) already and it's a minimal cost to participate (transponder rental, maybe some other enrollment costs) then I'd join in it whenever I can. I don't currently have the means/freedom to campaign an entire season in the competition, but that might change in the future and I'd love to be a part of this anyway I can.

Oh and let me put in a good word for CSG Mike and CounterSpace Garage... well before they ever started sponsoring anything, they've been a great resource to me and to this 86 community sharing all kinds of knowledge and help to anyone who asks. Reason enough alone to encourage folks to support them and buy any performance-oriented goodies from them when possible.
I would feel this way. While I was seriously looking at autox the mod restrictions like oil coolers turn me off. I will do a bit but have no feeling to get competative because I like to do what I want with my car. 86cup rules are very welcoming in that aspect. I would much rather skip 3 autox and run a track day. While I am competative by nature I am driven by wanting to improve and love the group, so racing eachother would be fun no matter what I feel like.
@MyRx will it be specific track days or basically anything on the ncrc schedule?
