A lot of times it's a simple management issue rather than an owner problem. Not to belittle the issue, but often, things change over a period of time. The SCCA can be rather picky about a lot of things concerning courses and their operation. I have no problem with that at all, but sometimes the management of the organization does. It's happened. My understanding is that's exactly what happened at Barber. Things started smelling when they did the same, if not worse, to the Porsche club as they did to the SCCA.

Racing is almost an oxymoron. A race track needs them to stay in business, but doesn't want them, because it creates too much work. We have to face it, in this day and age, unless you're last name is France or something similar, it's more dollar beneficial to take all that mass of acerage and asphalt and put condominiums or industrial parks on it.
