The solution is to do exactly what they don't want to do, and that is publish
the rules to the web. That would allow you to have access from anywhere, and
if it was done right, it would be searchable. Updates could be put into the
rulebook on the day of their activation, and future rule updates could be noted
in the text. The good news is that we all have global access to the most
up-to-date rules. The bad news is Denver doesn't get $12-$15 (I don't remember
the exact number) from all of us.
If they have their eyes on growing solo though, I think a huge first step would
be to make the rules accessable to the public. Asking a newbie to pay for the
rules of the game only enforces the "Secret Car Club of America" stigma. It
sounds silly now, looking back, but at the time that I started in this sport
the lack of clear rules was quite intimidating. After my first event I saw
that it was no big deal, but actually getting to that first event was a huge
step into the unknown.
Getting completely modern might be a bit much to ask for all at once, but let's
try to at least get into the 90's.
