DO NOT TAKE AS A FLAME!!!
I certainly don't think that SCCA's rule delivery system is perfect....and
think online availability would be helpful....but....
I also can't see how we can fix people who have the attitude "Yeah well I'm
not going to buy the rules until I know that I fit in them". I don't know
the person who wrote this, so it is not a reflection on them personally, but
in general when I read this type of comment, it is due to apathy on the part
of the writer. If the rules were available online, they'd probably say "I
can't download that 3MB file, I've got dial up" or whatever.
I get rubbed the wrong way by people who invest thousands of dollars in high
performance mods, which have no resale value, but then won't spend $15 for a
rule book in order to know where they fit?
Once again, not a flame...and I'm not saying SCCA is perfect (or even close
to it!). Maybe making changes for someone who doesn't care about rules
anyway, and has a 75% chance of coming to one event, getting beat by a bone
stock Neon and never returning is something we shouldn't do.
