Indeed it is. Perhaps I was overly theatric, but the suggestion that
the 3's classing was based solely on Mr. Wiles seemed so fantastic,
yet authoritatively spoken, that it demanded a followup. In the
absence of recent info on SCAC's meetings, you must concede the idea
of benign neglect of a car's classing at least sounds plausible.
One could argue that the apparent close-hold nature of the SCAC
proceedings invites precisely this kind of speculation. It's human
nature for society to assume the worst about goings-on that it is not
privy to. Look at some of the things said about Kenneth Starr for
another example, whatever you think of him.
Are SCAC records closed to the general membership? If so, is this the
right policy in the face of the rumors, hearsay, and outright
accusations of favoritism (e.g. Chrysler) we see on this list almost
constantly?
