Clayton,

Each state enters a "team" of 25 cars (or thereabouts). The officers of CART decide which cars are going, but they're generally the leaders of each Class.

The reason you see more than just three cars in each class, is because that particular autocross club (Northern New Jersey) was having a normal autocross that day, in addition to the Tri-State competition - which was a surprise to most of us.

Last year when we hosted the Tri-State, I don't believe it was open to all - just the people taking part in the Tri-State.

Next year New York hosts the event.

Brian,

A Formula 500 is an open wheel formula car that has a motorcycle engine (typically Yamaha, I believe). Yes, they're very fast and look quite fun.

Ah yes, the 50.846+1 run. Very exciting. The course ended with a high speed, six cone slalom (about 30 paces between the cones). I was really pushing it, got out of balance and didn't let up when I should have. A very nice 180 ensued, taking out a cone in the process.
