I have heard a lot of people say how the Novice drivers won't like a
Nationals style course. But I have yet to hear a complaint from a Novice
driver.
If a person DNFs on their first day at an SCCA will this cause them to quit?
I don't think so.
If National level events have a certain style and we have another, I think
we should be the ones who change.
