FYI only: I wrote the following note to the PRB this morning.

Last night on Speed News I heard that the FIA has changed their points structure next year from 10-6-4-3-2-1 to 10-8-6-4-3-2-1. They announced it in the context of F1, but I imagine they'll use it across the board.

Are you changing the SCCA points structure for Group N to match?

John, John, John-
First you should have written to FIA.

The blurb you saw was in regards to Bernie, F1, and Ferrari. I saw nothing in there that related to rally. You know something we don't? Is something broke in rally-land (or do you just not like Peugeot?)?

press on,

Bernie hasn't returned my calls! }>

I don't know if they'll change it in their other areas or not, but simply wanted to raise the awareness in case they did. Since 2002 F1 and WRC used same points structure, I thought it possible that the trend would continue.

> press on,

I'm pressing, I'm pressing!

P.S. A lovely young woman recently asked me "How come Jimmy Brandt doesn't get called a 'veteran navigator'?"

John,

What about team orders too? Next time you and your driver pull over for a competitor expect to get fined. I guess Hyundai in 1998 would have gotten a fine... (or was I really faster than John Buffum on a stage?)
