This was not uncommon in 1995/1996. I don't think the concept of a "regional" or "championship" really existed as far as many of us were concerned.

Take 1995 for example:
Non-Manchester teams playing at Championship 1995:
74, MI
141, MI

I was the driver for 74 in 1995, and 141 was our "cross town rival". I can confirm that both of these teams played only at the Championship at Epcot in 1995. 74 also only attended the Championship in 1996 (I'm nearly certain this is true for 141 as well). It wasn't until the Midwest Regional was formed in 1997 that it became feasible for us to attend a regional event.
