SCCA perverse and obstinate insistance to refuse to acknowledge that THIS SS on line IS the only effective rapid means to RECieve feedback is IMHO a major reason for their irrelevance.
I have suggested as have others the there should be a Sub section here where rules can be questioned and revisions suggested and a general give and take should occur about the whole process of revising, obsoleting, and correcting rules.
That fact that some have ridiculed the idea says something troubling about those peoples personal politics and is sad to see the concept of a democratic process ridiculed by obvious idiots, but the fact that _SCCA_ PRB and SS online has let the concept lay and wither leaves me to conclude that SCCA Doesn't want to incorporate membershib and associated suggestions.
Hence, they are increasingly, as we have seen, out of touch, out of line.

Yep, one wonders if they folks drafting the rules have had any experience editing things.
