Not a joke at all, what's the issue?

The event will not be sanctioned as the track does not comply with sanctioning body rulings. As such, the event will not be required to follow the ridiculous string of rules that come with such sanctioning - such as approved electrics lists - which ultimately makes the event more open to folks that just want to race other folks and not be forced to purchase highly over priced equipment for one weekend.

The event, for lack of any other competing event, is more than eligible to run as the state titles and hold as the pinnacle of 1/8 electric racing in WA. What sway does working under sanctioning body rules or otherwise have anything to do with the name of an event, national and international points? If that's your thing, good for you, however for the other 99% of folks it's not an issue so it's not of any concern.
