I never did say I was speaking for the SCCA or the SSC, I was interpreting the rules as I read them. I'm sorry, I have to disagree with the SSC if any of it's members considered the Ft Worth Tour eve

That's entirely correct. However, the upper speed limits as stated in the rules present several problems: 1. The phrase "should not normally exceed" leaves lots of room (maybe too much) for interpret

One thought. While this is a good discussion about max speed, my interpretation of what Rob was talking about was a more "general" speed creep. Meaning that a singular moment of unopredictable termin

I respectfully submit that you left step three prematurely. :^) IMO, 1.6 covers all aspects of this argument. It explains why the SSC is involved, and why Howard is allegedly concerned. Both for saf
