Several people have hit the nail on the head with one of the main
reasons--multi-days!  However, numbers of rides also comes into play, and
number of 100's is a big factor.  Here in the NW we are shy of multi-days
(depends on whether or not I get our one put on from year to year, and it
didn't run during the Pan-Am year and previous pre-ride year) but we have
SCADS of top-notch 100's.
