What is logistically impractical? I find it difficult to believe that teams which can afford multiple regionals would have less than 8 students. Finding 2-4 great drivers is a different arguement.

I have a very well funded team, but I'd rather fund more teams than attend multiple regionals. I find attending multiple regionals to increase my odds to win would be greedy. The money is much better spent on a new team.
