I would recommend everyone to try and qualify for the Runoffs. Whether you can finish up front, in the middle or at the back, it'll be an awesome experience and maybe the most exciting week of racing you've ever been part of. Just be advised there will be some folks in town who are nuts (in a good way) and beating them will take a boat load of work!
