Huh?
"Sold" as a benefit for one new driver???
Where did that come from? It was sold as a way
to have more fun at our autocrosses and to bring
Novices along fastest. I think probably if the SC
considered it again, it would remain the SFR rule.
I personally have used it to get a ride in a
Ferrari F360 F1. Now that was FUN! And I have
been able to show several novices how hard to
drive their cars -- this is hard to learn without
seeing it firsthand. I don't even care if everybody
in AS rides every run with someone else.
