The 12 month instead of an annual is new this year and has been talked about pro and con for a couple of years. There is a lot of pressure at the first few events of the year and the thought is that annual tech may have been a little rushed.[/b]
I knew I should have checked last year's GCR! If I had compared the old and new paragraphs, I probably wouldn't have even asked the question... the intent is obvious once you've seen both.

One of my problems is that despite the fact I've had SCCA competition licenses on 2 previous occasions, I never had the opportunity to renew them due to job related transfers to overseas locations coming at exactly the wrong time. So I'm plowing new ground this year by going through all of the renewal & reinspection stuff for the first time.
