Ok I read the whole thing...
Some of you clearly don't get it. Think of it if you were a mythical sales guy tring to make the pitch to run SCCA vs. "Crap Can"
Org
SCCA - Permits, Licenses, 2 drivers schools, huge rule book
CC - Small rule book, licence by paying for it
Car
SCCA - Hugly restrictive, build how SCCA wants it, seems to be winning cars and everybody else
CC - Build what you want, how you want
Event
SCCA - mostly sprint races lots of downtime
CC - All enduros, very little downtime
Cost
SCCA - Expensive to run up front
CC - Less expensive to run up front
Quality
SCCA - Some great guys, lots of hyper aggressive dbags
- Plenty of on track contact
CC - Lots of great guys, a few hyper aggressive dbags
- Very little. Strongly disincentivized
Its funny to me that the whole club looks down on IT, and IT looks down on CC. As (for now) an ex-SCCA guy, you guys for the most part just don't get it. Lemons is more fun for less $. simple. I see it as exactly what IT was meant to serve. As for "rolling chicanes", "Dangerous cars" etc... all I can say is "whatever". When I ran ITA, there were plenty of those. In CC, you just know that its up to you to keep it clean. I don't worry about my line, I just make sure I get a clean run by regardless of what the others will do. I've had one contact (wheel mark) in 240hrs or racing. Certainly less than in SCCA where I lost a car and got hit good twice besides. I'm having a blast in Lemons, and will try Chump too. Besides, nowhere in the SCCA can I run what I felt like running - a nice Lexus LS400!
