Jeremy Thoennes from Topeka was there with the "Cam Doctor".

As I read 2.3.2.B (page 4) you can not race again until cleared by Topeka.

This goes back to when most of our races were on airports and other temporary tracks. The idea was that the first lap of the race was a poor time to learn where the track turned right and left.

As I read GCR 6.11.4 only the Chief Steward can file an RFA. Workers should have a chat with him.

Workers can not protest a car, check GCR 13.4.

We have used 3 digit numbers a few time in the SW when groups were combined. If you just use a leading "1", ie "76" becomes "176" it's not too bad for T&S. When you get into "395" and such it becomes...

Nope.

If you re-read the thread you will see that as the number of race groups grew, the restricted regionals were cut in order to keep the nationals at the required length.

You are correct.

What section of the GCR would this protest allege to have been violated???

This is not something that came up overnight, it has been discussed at great length at SW Div meetings for the last 5 years or so.

The restricted regionals started to go away 4 or 5 years ago when...

I agree that entry fees could be a lot more equitable than they are. This is an issue that needs to be addressed by each Region, but they won't do anything until the drivers let them know they are...

Don't see many F500s and such at a NAA event. NASA can pick and choose who to run, they do not have to run all the groups that SCCA does.

Yea, and a lot of the National guys stayed home...

Many years ago I did my garage with epoxy paint from Sears. Did the acid prep and it worked great.

Don't know if they still have it or not.

Any good hardware store.

Did he actually file a protest or did he just talk about it? If the protest...

When everyone around you went racing you went along, that's natural.

It was the jackass who went racing even though the car in front of him was holding up a hand who screwed things up.

That's right, and the rules governing driver actions say you can not begin racing until the green is waved. As the green had not been waved you can not begin racing.

According to my Steward friends, if there is no green flag you just keep on chuggin' at reduced speed.

It makes no difference on a restart if the yellows are down or not, there is NO race until...

FWIW I ran this past a Steward who has been in this game for a while.

He is of the opinion that as the manifold is listed as a seperate item, the intention of the Comp Board when they wrote the...

Or they can ask you to read GCR. (9.1.4 in the '03 book, I don't have an '04 handy).

Texas World bills the Region for damage done to guardrail and fence. It is covered under SCCA insurance less a deductible of (I think) $500. There has been talk of passing that along to the driver...

Some say it reflects my ability to play nicely with the other children. Others say it describes my usual sunny and cheerful disposition.

However I seldom foam at the mouth. :-)

"May protest any decision, act or omission..." Protests against automobiles are covered seperately in 13.4.



You do that quite well.....:-)

Take a look at GCR 13.4 on page 101 and see what it says about mechanical protests.

When did that change in the GCR????
