Again...you have to consider ALL of the regions.  I lived in upstate New 
York for several years.  At the time there wasn't an endurance ride in the 
state.  I had two rides about 5 hours away, 1 about 6 hours and everything 
else was at least a 10 hour drive.

I agree you don't have to be first across the finish line to accumulate 
points, but if you aren't pretty high in the finish order you'll have to do 
more rides to catch up with those that do.  I'm not talking about having a 
fancy rig.  The simple economic fact is that the more rides you do and the 
further they are from home, the more it costs and the more time you are away 
from work...assuming one works.  Again leaning towards those who are more 
financially independent will have a significant advantage over those that 
have to work for a living.
