And the risk to us, as members, if the house of cards (as you see it) comes tumbling down is what?

.........drum roll......NOTHING. Just that the SCCA goes away. For my $100/year or whatever it is, I am glad I am paying them to take care of this stuff. If SCCA goes away because they mismanged my $100, someone else who has a better model will spring up to take over.

I just don't get the reason for all the angst over where my dues go. I'm happy with what I get (a good mag, and road racing basically whenever I want it) for my money. I also, like Jake, beleive that World Challenge is a good investment. It's about the only time I ever see the words "SCCA" on TV or in the press.
