Rob's previous statement hits the nail on the head. Quality > quanity.
The other thing people our missing when they say "branch out" is, people other than SR enthusiasts don't give a rat's ass about an SR Sentra. To them it might as well be the K car club. What other solidly organized car club wants to hang out with a bunch of broke ass Sentra owners and watch them patch their axle back together in the hotel parking? The only organization that might fit in with that is Chumpcar/Lemons? Lets get real here...

Of course the convention can do that, but correct me if I'm wrong, the past few conventions we have gotten private tracks? Or was it we just got a 'group' rate for an open track day?
