Many regions require that test (Chicago does not provide the book) and
the test I took was very easy. But that's NOT my point. A new Solo II
rule book comes out every year and every driver that attends national
events is required to have and produce one. The Road Racing GCR also
comes out every year yet a driver is not required to produce one so
most never buy one.
According to an SCCA press release I just received there are only
12,000 licensed Road Racing drivers in the Club. Maybe we need to
check how many bought the book.
We as a club need to be more equitable with our membership, just
because someone on the road race side spends more for event entry
fees, tire wear etc.. does not make those of us on the Solo side any
less of a member.
Or Does it?
