Very well said, Rocky, and I agree completely.
If a region *plans* a 70mph (for the fastest S and SP cars) course, then
they are IMHO beyond the scope of the rules. The SEB has occasionally
handed out hand slaps to regions habitually in this area. I seem to
recall at least one case where a region was prohibited from running
events for a period as punishment for exceeding the rulebook intentions.
