By-laws, minutes, tribal knowledge - access to these items probably would
not help vis a vis rules. The best route if a rule concern exists is to
contact the proper class committee. If you don't know the committee chair
directly, contact through the current head tech guy as listed in the rule
book is the way to go.

Questions regards the way an event operates can be answered via a letter to
the Board, via the SCTA-BNI office or through this forum.
