The good news is that the unwavering and unapologetic arrogance of SCCA, combined with their mid 20th century business model, and their calculated attempts to kill OW classes, means that failure is imminent. Unfortunately, we will have to bottom out, before some alternate group can rescue us. I sure hope we are getting closer to that point. S>O>S
There are still thousands and thousands of awesome workers and people within SCCA, that deserve better treatment, just as the racers do. As long as we work hard with our racer friends to keep our class healthy (whatever class) in our area, we have a commodity that will have value to promoters and race organizers. Don't waste your time with Adhoc committees and writing letters. Work with your fellow racers to grow and protect your own racing ( NEFV, FVCC, F1000, FRP, NWFC, GLC, RCFFS, FFCS, FRP, etc)
PS .... If anyone wants to see SCCA arrogance at work, read the Appeals Court case at the end of the March fasttrack. After forcing a racer with a USF car to race in FX (rather than in FC where he should be), they penalize that racer whose car would not start on the grid, for passing 3 cars that waived him by on the pace lap. Then the assistant chief steward Pedro Prado took it all the way to appeals court to make sure the racer got screwed. So, some local racer in an uncompetitive car, that won't start, and whose race is already ruined, gets to spend hours and hours playing SCCA politics. Talk about persecuting a guy already having a bad day. What an embarrassment to SCCA! I wonder how the cheerleaders will spin this one .....
