Very few "laymen" understand that you must set a record (or reach a minimum) for entrance into the Two club. Many assume all you have to do is go 200 mph for a hat. The difficulty increases by orders of magnitude when consider the existing record holder applied motivation, money, intelligence, and various talents to set a record. You have to equal and better that effort, which is no small task. Surly Al and the others informed Jessie of the distinction. However, true to typical Hollywood "pandering to the ignorant" the producer choose to not educate but titillate in the usual nauseating manner. The accuracy of any TV episode is as suspect as any Internet posting. Entertainment doesn't require truth only imagination.
Many don't want to go to the trouble, or have the skill, time and money, to enter an SCTA event. That is why the USFRA exists. You can just rent a Corvette and run a number to put a piece of paper on your wall to feel good about yourself. For many the only labor or talent they apply is signing checks. SCTA "paper" stands for an entirely different culture that only a select few understand or enter.
