I'm sure most would agree that the Atwater courses were faster than we are
acustomed to, but I find that the course differences have more impact on car
gearing - than weight. Have you tried to toss a heavy V8 car through tight
sections in the course when you can't get a chance to get in the power band?
(without a shift to 1st) It's very fustrating.

violated any SCCA rule. So what would there be for the SEB to do?
If you just had a complaint about the style of the course, the SEB might do
something if many others shared that view. It certainly appeared that the
majority of card carrying members liked the Tour courses. Again, I don't see
what the SEB would have to say.
All IMHO of course (no pun intended).
