Greg & group,
I agree. I feel SVRA's point system is too lenient. They went in the wrong
direction when they adopted it a few years ago, in my opinion. It seems
inconsistent with the 13/13 rule. I understand that there are some
incidents that don't quite merit a full 13/13 sanction, but the SVRA
penalties seem too low to me. Will pass my comments on to SVRA management
also.
Regards,
Mark Palmer
