First off let me say I've got some text in a Q&A format that I'm going to put up on a web page here RSN (real soon now) that will help explain some things. HTML and I get along only so well though, so expect it to look like utter crap, then be fixed up later by someone who actually can put two colors together without making people cry.
I can either throw out four sentences here for your reading pleasure or wait for Jeff to ask questions. I guess the quickest answer is that it's not going to be ME dictating changes, it's ALL of the organizers plus the manufacturers council plus Rally America working WITH the SCCA to make it all tick like a Swiss watch (it may be rusty at first, but it'll get better!). You need to look at what that group as a whole has to offer, not just what I know. There's no way I could ever come close to doing something like this on my own.
As for the original question, I'm a professional programmer of 20+ years, I own & run National Bankcard Services (
www.nbs-inc.com) which affords me my rally toys, I did 3 ClubRallies last year, one this year, plus the Pro series this year (except STPR as my motor took a holiday) and I'm pretty well hooked. That's it in a nutshell. Oh yeah, I've been told I crash better than most!
Look for more in-depth information to come shortly.
Cheers,
