I agree that drug testing local races is overkill.... its easy to pick out the few dopers in a community because they ONLY do the small local races (and therefore are extremely limited in what prize money they can win). People wanting to win that local level at all costs are definitely cheating the other clean/non-cheating athletes who would've been on a podium but the scope is limited to those in contention (though still wrong). For the most part, people are competing against themselves and trying to get a qualifying time for another event or just set a PR.
