Dick,

Kudos to you! You said a mouthfull when you said " the culture of SCCA" . Many people don't have a clue as to the many aspects of what it takes to allow us to go racing. Without question, I firmly believe that working a corner should manditory before receiving a competion license. There are too many drivers out there that have no idea what it takes to do F&C for a day, much less the knowledge they'll gain from watching any specific corner up close.
Again, just MHO.
