I don't care. I'm looking for enjoyable yet structured competition. That's
what the SCCA is advertising. That implies accurate scoring and a minimum
of unnecessary reruns for me and my competition. If the majority of people
don't care about those things, then let's drop the score cards and just have
fun runs all day.

At the last event I attended, I had two separate incidents where cones were
knocked down and the nearest course workers simply stood there and watched.

You know what, Dave? Part of working course correctly is REGISTERING the
number of each car as it enters your section, so that you CAN provide that
information when calling in cones. If you can't ever see the side of the
car, you're working on a straightaway and shouldn't need to be there.
