Mark-
Please enlighten us on why we should take to heart your comments on the
running of SFR events (and the maligning of the dumbasses who spin or DNF)?
Do you run SFR events? (Can't find your name in the series points, but I
don't want to spend the time searching the bottom of every class)? Do you
only run Nationals events? Do you own an autocross car (oops, bad question
... I don't).
This is a place where everyone can express their point of view, but it's
relevant for those who haven't been around forever to know who's making the
statements. Is it someone who has lots of experience here and could be
making a valid point? Or not (polite rephrasing of what I wanted to write)?
