Below is a link to the 2014 runoffs at Mazda Raceway. I am posting this as a counter perspective to Jims posting that he feared the NASA champs at the Glen. I understand Jims fear but being a NASA member I have the same fear he has of NASA for all SCCA major events and the runoffs. The first lap in this video is absolute madness that I want no part of. Drivers laying up on the start, stuffing it down the inside where they shouldn't be, stuffing it in between cars where they shouldn't be, bumping harder than bump draft, using the pit out lane to pass, (though officials allow the pitout to pass I think that is absolutely retarded),ETC. Then take a look at minute 9:15 . Driver off track and then coming back on track at speed and going instantly back over to the fast driving line. There is more but I think that is enough to make the point.
The problem isn't SCCA or NASA. The problem is SM drivers. Im not sure of the solution. Im not sure there is a solution. Maybe this is just all part of it. But what I do know is that if you think you can avoid this by being in NASA or by being in SCCA , I think you are fooling yourself.
