If this list is to be used only for discussion of "National" events, sign me
off right now. This list is to be used for all things autocrossing, and not
just SCCA, either.

Of course. And again, not just SCCA Regions, but all sorts of clubs.
But discussion among autocrossers all over the country can help the process
by giving many points of view that may not have been considered locally.

This does crack me up a little since you were the guy who tried to add
limits to the number of timed runs in local events in order to more
accurately reflect the larger events. :-)
I believe that rules for local events MAY differ from those of "National"
events, for the main benefit of the competitor in the former, and for the
purity of competition in the latter.
This does not affect my desire for open exchange of ideas among disparate
autocross cultures.
