"The NASA rules making process may or may not leave something to be desires..but I'll make my own decision, thanks."

Well Chuck, thats exactly what I'm telling you to do. If you read carefully, I never said anything about the NASA system of doing things being "bad." I'm just warning you to be careful what you wish for, thats all.

You simply pick your poison. The politics and slow movement of the SCCA system can be frustrating, but for better or for worse it keeps the rules pretty stable.
The NASA system has no such Member Driven, Committee Reviewed, Board Approved red tape. This is sometimes a good thing, but sometimes it is a very very bad thing.

As I said before, take your pick. You can have either or both. Whatever.
But having dealt extensively with both, I'll take SCCA.
