I think my point didn't come across very well, sorry about that.
I very much agree that the protest system that the SOLO has is great. When I
say that the protest fee is miniscule, I mean that it is very small price to
pay to put an end to systemic cheating and complaints of cheating.
Think about it. We all quibble about intentions and letters of rules. And
there are a LOT of gray areas, just like any legal or racing system. But it
isn't like anyone truly believes that the SCCA "managment" encourages,
condones, or even allows cheating to continue. The whole idea is foreign to
SOLOII competition.
And that is a wonderful thing.

I've been involved in setting teardown bonds and inspecting protested
vehicles at the Nationals for some time, and the teardown bonds are fair.
Tell
me a
specific instance where it wasn't fair...
The system works as it is. Maybe the wording as to required documentation
in
Prepared Category needs some work, but the protest/appeal system is fine in
my opinion.
