Frank we are in trouble. We got our own tech it's time for our own Stewart. Penalties need to be assigned. Incident trends need to be tracked. And for the love of god the phrase "racing incident" needs to only used when there was no way possible a human being could have avoided the situation. Like a mechanical malfunction or hitting oil on the track.
The class size would double if we could get this shit under control.
Up for discussion: Is it time for our class to have their own steward to enforce what we feel is appropriate on track behavior to deter and punish when necessary poor judgment in driving?
I spoke to many drivers this weekend who are fed up with the excessive contact within this class and even more concerned that SCCA is not taking any roll in correcting on-track behavior.
I know that we have rules, a protest process and penalties in the rules that address bad behavior, the problem is those rules are not being enforced.
IMO SCCA does not like to deal with the on track problems and are relieved when we don’t protest. Clearly there have been examples of bad behavior on track that occurred in plain sight and the officials take no action.
Not trying to pick on any incident or person, but this past weekend’s incident at Gingerman is an example of some poor driving that went unpunished.
So what if we get our own person who enforces the rules in our class the way we expect that they should be enforced. The current system does not seem to be deterring the aggressive driving.
We have to be careful that we do not turn this into a NASA thing (sorry NASA guys) but there has to be a middle ground, SCCA is way over on the side on giving it the blind eye.
I am tired of coming home with body damage.
As with any idea the devil is in the details. So what are your thoughts?
