I've been wondering about this as not everyone reads this list or even
bothers to read the rules. We always tell people not to warm tires or
speed, but in reality it happens and sometimes the offenders are
autocrossers, not outsiders. If we really have no room to screw up at GGF,
I hope there is something extra we can do to stress the importance of good
behavior at this site to everyone. Certainly a special message on the SFR
web page (yes, I know that warning is already there) but also maybe someone
could periodically walk the parking lot and talk to people one on one. I
mean everyone, not just people who look like they might warm tires. And
yeah, I could do that if it's not a dumb idea.
