RE: Lets drop the pretense...Good idea, but...
If the geniuses on the payroll who were supposed to be marketing and promo guys ever figuered out what they were doing, or maybe knew anything about rally or promotion, they would know that the top space and the windsheild are prime places for Series alternatively Event Sponsor name to appear and can be pitched to potential event sponsors for MOOOLAH in exchange for the high visibility of that location.
A small sticker somewhere is suffcient, the purpose of the event is not to hype SCCA or NASA, and it's a waste as it is.
The results should alway show straight from top to bottom stage times and totals with a little N or D after the car number indicating which part of the days program the car is in.
After all, the SCCA has been making all their Growth propaganda and "for Immediate Release" Press releases quoting XX numbers of cars and they have consistantly counted all cars to make it sound good, well count them at the end, too.
And FULL DISTANCE FOR ALL CARS AT ALL EVENTS, no more gypping the poor Divisional or Club guys out of their ability to compare their rewsults stage for stage for the Whole event.
It is a complete falsehood perpetuated by a bunch of older organisers that Club guys 'want shorter events' at concurrent Club-National weekends.
100% of every person who I have ever asked since 1984 if they want more mile has said MORE MILES!!
