I've got no dog in watever fight this is, but team.net is most
definitely not the place to have it. Please keep flagrant
accusations regarding course safety and other such issues
private. Airing stuff like this in such a public forum causes
harm to all of us, however we might feel about SCCA or the
individuals in the dispute.

Mark, If you thought the course was unsafe, you should have
brought
that out THEN, not now, and refused to compete if satisfactory
corrective measures weren't taken. If you are convinced that an
unsafe event was conducted, your obligation, given your lip
service to "concern" for the SCCA, etc., would have been to raise
the issue officially and to do everything in your power to see
that it didn't happen again. That you chose to compete in that
"unsafe" event yourself says volumes.

There is no possible good that can come from going public with a
personal and/or political dispute such as this. Please consider
the possible unintended results or your actions. I know from
experience what sort of damage can be caused by unfounded
accusations made long after the fact. Things and people can get
far uglier than you might have imagined.
