This is the exact problem. The SCCA and the stewards refuse to do their job - which is to control behavior of the participants at the events (drivers and volunteers). The stewards in this message chain keep saying over and over that they can't do anything about out of control behavior unless the drivers first do A, B, C, D, E, F and G. And that the drivers are at fault for not doing A, B, C, D, E, F and G!
This is like the police yelling at the community that the police cannot enforce the law unless the community first finds the criminal, brings the criminal to the police, fills out lots of paperwork to give to the police, hands the police video evidence of the crime, and then proves the crime in court. And then maybe (maybe!) the police will impost a penalty on the criminal.
This system is horribly broken.
What is the lawyer's maxim - When the law is on your side, argue the law; when the facts are on your side, argue the facts; when neither is on your side, jump and down and shout.
I think that you are over-egging the cake.
Go back and read Peter's post #36. That is how serious stewards work. If you encounter an official who cannot/will not do his job, complain to the Chief Steward, file a protest, reach out to the Executive Steward. At the same time, recognize that you have a role to play in rules enforcement.
